Now we have such examples every day. For example, we watch the weather forecast every day. The weather forecast is the forecast for the next day (or the next few days), and the basic subject we rely on must be mathematics. Is this a prediction of the future? Of course forget it!
Also, we can predict the little things in life, such as "at Xiaoming's speed, he will come soon", which is also a simple prediction. In fact, the person who said this was based on his understanding of Xiao Ming's speed and distance, and roughly estimated it by mathematical methods. Of course, he may not realize that he is using mathematics, but mathematics does play a role in this prediction.
There is a branch of mathematics called "operational research". One of its applications is that we can build a corresponding model according to the current information and deduce the possible results in a period of time. This is also a prediction!
Mathematics is an artifact of learning, it is around us, we use it all the time, and knowledge is unconscious. The so-called "prediction" is not fortune telling, but scientific deduction.
