Abstract

Mathematics has earned the nickname “the Queen of the Sciences”, quoted by Carl Friedrich Gauss, due to its deep involvement in the study of other sciences and its support for accelerated technological development, which we have been steamrolling in recent years. The contribution of mathematics to science is visible to researchers in the relevant fields; however, its contribution to technology is latent. The end user of a technological product is unaware of the mathematics invested in the product’s development. The penetration of technology into new areas of our lives such as biology, medicine, and agriculture, which until recently, were often foreign to technology, opened users’ eyes to it, and together, it covertly revealed mathematics. This fact has increased the need for researchers in relevant fields such as mathematics and computer science. Raising this topic highlights the importance of mathematics and computer science and hopefully will make mathematics more accessible to the student, who often suffers from a psychological barrier and fear of mathematics and related fields. We will scan various areas of mathematics and see examples of how each area contributes to finding solutions to practical problems that we encounter nowadays [1].
