I guess maybe one way of saying it is there\u2019s mathematics that\u2019s used right away, for example, by an engineer in making a machine, or the information theory that goes into a phone. But here\u2019s a question. Are Google\u2019s search engines good for the world or not? Maybe some people think it\u2019s bad, right? I tend to think it\u2019s overall good. This accessibility of information around the world, I think, in spite of the chaos it introduces, eventually leads to better understanding of the world, and between people as well.<\/p>\n

But of course what goes into the Google search engine is linear algebra. A rather abstract understanding of linear algebra is what made it possible. This kind of surprising innovation that leads to what\u2019s almost, what you might even call an incalculable good. It often comes from a mathematical background. There are already many mathematicians who are applying insights of this sort to immediate challenges like the climate crisis, sustainable economics or accessible education. We would like to help these people and encourage more people to join the effort.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
