The words of the title, waves and modulations, are ubiquitous in science and technology. They are in particular the purpose of an active field of research in applied mathematics. Modulation 'theory' is fifty years old and nevertheless conceals many open questions. An overview of it is given along a journey in the landscape of a few famous equations in mathematical physics.
