Mathematical cryptic clues
$begingroup$
- Programming language, after removing loss for you, reverses time (6)
- Complex arithmetic begins, Turing tests start beforehand (7)
- Quadruply male doctor Einstein, familiarly (11)
- Lie on a 100/100 imaginary item (9)
- Between 3.14 and 2.718 is originally risky mathematics (5)
- Arctan maps every other arccot into an embankment, too (8)
Heated rant with part of Ulam spiral (7)
- Curse without Germain’s initial initial (4)
Solve these cryptic clues (no definitions), then find the answer to this question: what role does math play in our daily lives?
Remember: when in doubt, always consult OEIS!

No time to finish, but a partial...
2. Complex arithmetic begins, Turing tests start beforehand (7)
C(omplex) + A(rithmetics) + T(ests) + ALAN (Turing) = CATALAN
3. Quadruply male doctor Einstein, familiarly (11)
TETRA (quadruply) + HE + DR + AL(bert) = TETRAHEDRAL
4. Lie on a 100/100 imaginary item (9)
FIB (lie) ON A C/C (100/100) I (imaginary item) = FIBONACCI
5. Between 3.14 and 2.718 is originally risky mathematics (5)
PI (3.14) + E (2.178) with R(isky) M(athematics) inside = PRIME
