The language of life

Only mathematicians can hope to answer the ultimate questions of life,
the universe and everything

When the news broke that Bill Clinton was to undergo quadruple heart
bypass surgery, the main question was not whether he would survive,
but whether he would be back soon enough to take part in the US
election campaign. That's how routine major medical procedures such as
this have become; how much we take them for granted.
Clinton's bypass operation is just one example among thousands of how
our lives are dependent on science and technology. Behind that science
and technology is mathematics - the often overlooked backroom boy on
which everything depends.
