Michael Gove speaks to the Royal Society on maths and science Introduction Ladies and gentleman, I feel a little nervous in these surroundings. I am a journalist by profession, a politician by accident and a historian in my dreams. I am, therefore, in all too many ways, poorly equipped to address an audience of the nation’s most distinguished mathematicians and scientists.

But, in advancing the argument I want to make today, history is perhaps more of an aid than it might at first appear. For some, like Karl Marx, the driving force in history was always economics. For others, like Edward Gibbon, it was theology More recently some have argued that history is driven by evolutionary biology or geography or simple demography. But the truth, as I suspect everyone in this room knows, is that history is driven, above all, by mathematics and the power it gives us to understand, predict and control the world.
