Hey all,

We see a lot of amazing inventions around us, but just how difficult is the mathematics behind the design? If you want specific examples, the cellphone, computer, and the iPod are good ones.

The question is a little bit vague, so I'll clarify. Would someone who just graduated with a B.S. know enough math or science (any branches of both) to create the next great invention? What kind of mathematics and sciences do you think some of the aforementioned inventions involve?

The first step is to come up with an idea... everything after that is easy.... computers can do most of the math for ya.... and i'd assume it'd depend on what your BS is in.. if your a master basket weaver dont think it would help much Face with Stuck-out Tongue

Anywho, the math is pointless if you don't know how to implement it....

shamwow probably took no math. Google patents take years of graduate level math and CS.

The other devices are all progessions of other devices.
Crystal radio-vacuum tube radio-Transistor radio-walkman-portable cd-mp3-ipod
telegraph-telephone-radio phone-early cell phones-modern cell phones
Computers is a very long progression and many smaller inventions from babbage to today.
