Yet this simple gesture displays the result of an infinite number of mathematical calculations designed to predict the weather in your city. Just like weather predictions, the prediction of future events has become an essential part of human activities. From now on, humanity no longer depends on crystal balls or ossicles to know what's ahead. Rather, it relies on mathematics and statistics, which are increasingly infiltrating your daily life. Are you ready to become aware of the impact of these new disciplines in your life?
