Mathematics in our World

Internet and Phones

The internet consists of millions of
connected computers and devices. We

need mathematics to navigate this
network.

• Without the mathematics of

queuing theory, it would be
impossible to guarantee a

reliable service. Mathematical Codes and Communication
models using Poisson

processes all but guarantee
that you will hear a dial tone Digital Music
when making a phone call.

Mathematical codes allow the waveforms
of sounds and music to be converted into

numbers that can be stored on digital devices.
• Without mathematics there would be
no iPods Spotify or iTunes. Even more

mathematics is used for digital music
editing such as equalizing reverb noise
reduction and mixing.

Sending digital messages relies on

different fields of mathematics to ensure
transmission without interface.
