The Mathematical Sciences in 2025
Author: National Research CouncilPublisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309284570
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 223
Book Description
The mathematical sciences are part of nearly all aspects of everyday life-the discipline has underpinned such beneficial modern capabilities as Internet search, medical imaging, computer animation, numerical weather predictions, and all types of digital communications. The Mathematical Sciences in 2025 examines the current state of the mathematical sciences and explores the changes needed for the discipline to be in a strong position and able to maximize its contribution to the nation in 2025. It finds the vitality of the discipline excellent and that it contributes in expanding ways to most areas of science and engineering, as well as to the nation as a whole, and recommends that training for future generations of mathematical scientists should be re-assessed in light of the increasingly cross-disciplinary nature of the mathematical sciences. In addition, because of the valuable interplay between ideas and people from all parts of the mathematical sciences, the report emphasizes that universities and the government need to continue to invest in the full spectrum of the mathematical sciences in order for the whole enterprise to continue to flourish long-term.

Book Description
Excerpt from Dissertation Sixth: Exhibiting a General View of the Progress of Mathematical and Physical Science, Principally From 1775 to 1850 The object. Of this Dissertation has little in com men with an attempt formally to subdivide human knowledge into compartments, and to assign their boundaries with metaphysical exactness. It is chie y in their practical bearing on one another that they must be considered. If one science, like Mathe maties, furnish the only sure step towards the un derstanding or the enlargement of another, as Astro homy or Optics, a practical link is constructed be tween them, which renders the progress of the one not independent of the progress of the other. The intimate and reciprocal connection thus subsisting between Mathematics and Physics is to be found in almost an equal degree between Pure Physics and the Mechanical Arts, of which we take Civil Engineer ing to represent the department most cognate to that of Natural Philosophy, of which this Disserta tion more especially treats. The history of the last seventy or eighty years enforces this conclusion. The boundaries of Science and Art are as undefinable as those of fact and theory, or those which separate the kingdoms of nature from one another. There are arts which can hardly be called scientific, and there are others which have contributed more to the original stock of know ledge than they ever drew from it. These last are like the shoots of those tropical plants which at first are mere buds upon the trunk, and are nourished solely by its juices, but which, when they reach the ground, plant themselves there, and become not only the preps and stays of the parent stem, but supply it from an ever-increasing area with the sap which they originally borrowed.

Book Description
The mathematical tradition at Oxford is one of the oldest in Britain, and Oxford scholars have been at the forefront of mathematical research for the past eight centuries. This is the story of the intellectual and social life of this community, and of its interactions with the wider world.
