Photograph: Niall Carson/PA WireWelcome to this week’s IT Sunday, a selection of the best Irish Times journalism for our subscribers., Fintan O’Toole is examining Irish neutrality – particularly the language surrounding it.
David McWilliams is writing about maths; its colourful history, its overwhelming importance, and the tragic reality that so many people leave school hating it as a subject. “Maths moves us from superstition to proof, from conjecture to fact, from guesswork to certainty.
