Best Answer

Most forensic equipment will use mathematical analysis, in particular, computers depend on mathematics.

Here are some examples:

Large databases of known criminals are only manageable through the use of computers. Dta sharing between police forces in different regions or across internation boundaries would be virtually impossible without computerised records.

Tracing movements of large funds.

Plotting crime statistics so as to identify crime patterns, hot-spots etc.

Alibis can be tested by determining the time it might take to/from get from the scene of crime to the alibi.

Matching DNA or other tissue samples is largely based on statistical methods

Profiling uses statistical techniques.

In the case of homicide, tracking bullet trajectories, cooling of bodies follows Newton's law (of cooling) which is a exponential decay curve.

When did Pascal invent calculators to help us solve taxes?

Pascal may have used some device or gadget to help do some math but he did not invent any type of calculator you are familiar with. Since tax calculations are mostly simple arithmetic and table lookups, calculators may help you do some of the math but they won't help solve taxes. Nothing can help solve taxes ;)
