Bradshaw, Noel-Ann (2020) Florence Nightingale (1820-1910): an unexpected master of data. Patterns (New York, N.Y.), 1 (2). p. 100036. ISSN 2666-3899

Abstract

Florence Nightingale is known for her nursing skills in the Crimean War. This article shows how she used her mathematical and statistical knowledge to advise the British Army and government on the best approaches for medical data collection and management, thus significantly reducing mortality rates. Many of the problems she described are just as relevant today.
