Nothing useful?
The very fact that you're able to post on this forum is a direct result of problems such as the transport of conduction states in metals, semiconductor band-gaps and the construction of a coherent and consistent logical system based on just 2 distinct units of information being "reduced to mathematics".
Mathematics is often the best framework within which to approach a problem, since mathematics is the language in which it is impossible to express an imprecise thought.

Have you been taking lessons from Ray Comfort?
