Abstract
This journal explores the role of mathematics in forensic science, highlighting how mathematical reasoning helps solve real-life crimes.It covers applications like statistical inference in DNA evidence, geometric modeling in crime scenes, and fraud detection using numerical patterns.The paper also reflects on the challenges of applying maths in legal contexts, while emphasizing its value in enhancing objectivity and fairness in investigations.As someone interested in how theory meets practice, I found it fascinating to see how core maths concepts play such a major part in modern justice systems.
