Through interviews and reenactments, the video shows how math is used in every facet of law enforcement. Detectives, forensic scientists, prosecutors, defense attorneys, and other officials present stories where the tools of mathematics are invaluable on the job. High-profile people giving their insights on math and the law include William Bratten, former police commissioner of New York City, and Dr. Henry Lee, the forensic pathologist whose skills have been demonstrated in many news-making trials. In addition to the hard-hitting video, the ProMath kit includes a wealth of activities for students, allowing them to step into the roles of police detectives and attorneys and to apply their math skills. Concepts covered include data analysis, geometry, logic, probability, solving equations, and more.
