How Are Math Functions Used in the Real World?

We all know what math functions are. But often, there is a question that pops in our head, which is, how do you use math functions in the real world. It's no brainer; there are lots of applications for math functions! One of the biggest uses of functions is used when we use vending machines, or stamp machines, or any machine for that matter. When you press, you are giving it a specific command to follow, that is carried out with the help of a math function. Another application is measurement tools. On tools such as thermometers, the scales are different from those we use in our daily lives. And when we are converting such scales, we are actually using math functions!
