The widespread use of computers can give the impression that math is no longer necessary, that today's technology can perform the most complex computational operations in a fraction of a second.

This naïve notion has prompted the renowned popularizer of science, Ian Stewart, to show readers the not-so-obvious merits of the beloved discipline, for its role is not just about calculations, and thanks to computers freeing us from monotonous work, we simply begin to do mathematics differently.
It is mathematics that is behind all the transformative technologies that make the 21st century so different from the previous era. Digital photography, modern communications, and satellite navigation are unthinkable without math, and predicting the effects of climate change is impossible without it. This series could go on and on, not forgetting the humanities and the arts, politics and Internet security. In short, says the author, the need for this science is universal, it is the foundation of the basics.
