¿Para qué sirven las matemáticas?

Faced with the popular perception that mathematics is useless for our daily lives, Professor Ian Stewart shows us that this discipline goes far beyond the boring calculations that we all remember from school and offers us a curious journey through the uses of mathematics that often remain hidden in plain sight, but contribute to our lives. From the trigonometry that keeps a satellite in orbit to the prime numbers used by the most advanced security systems in the world, passing through the imaginary numbers that allow augmented reality, the most efficient methods for kidney transplants, applications in politics, the prediction of climate change or even how a strange and infinitely wavy curve optimizes home deliveries; mathematics is not only relevant to our lives, but without it the modern world as we know it would fall apart.
