The Universiteit van Nederland asks inspiring scientists to share most exciting insights from their field in short lectures. They bring science to life in various formats for a young and broad audience by answering exciting questions every week.
This time, Sandjai Bhulai was asked to explain how ambulances can drive faster with mathematics. In a life-threatening situation, every second counts.

The answer is given in a mini-lecture (in Dutch).
