Building the Digital Society

Comments (0)

This Mathematics Matters case study looks at how mathematics converts digital data into useful information for business, the government and the public. Computers and networks stuffed with ever-increasing amounts of data are transforming our society, creating a digital world with its own rules and behaviours. We need mathematicians who understand this new world and can turn data into useful information for the benefit of society as a whole. The resource can be used by teachers to guide their students or shared directly with students to inform them about careers using mathematics.
