This is the basis. Why is mathematics needed in everyday life

The widespread use of computers may create the impression that mathematics is no longer necessary, that today's technologies allow for the most complex computational operations to be performed in fractions of a second. This naive view prompted the famous science popularizer Ian Stewart to show readers the less obvious merits of the beloved discipline, as its role is by no means limited to calculations, and thanks to computers freeing us from monotonous work, we simply start to engage with mathematics differently. Mathematics is behind all the transformative technologies that make the 21st century unlike any previous era. Without mathematics, digital photography, modern communication, and satellite navigation are unimaginable; it is also indispensable in predicting the consequences of climate change. This list can go on and on, not forgetting to mention the humanities, art, politics, and internet security. In short, the author believes that the need for this science is universal; it is the foundation of foundations.
