Mathematical Sciences, Technology and Economic Competitiveness

Board on Mathematical Sciences,National Research Council,James Glimm,Phillip Griffiths,National Academy of Sciences

This book describes the contributions of mathematics to the nation’s advanced technology and to economic competitiveness. Examples from five industries-aircraft, petroleum, automotive, semiconductor, and telecommunications-illustrate how mathematics enters into and improves industry. Mathematical Sciences, Technology, and Economic Competitiveness addresses these high-technology industries and breadth of mathematical endeavors in the United States as they materially contribute to the technology base from which innovation in these industries flows. The book represents a serious attempt by the mathematics community to bring about an awareness by policymakers of the pervasive influence of mathematics in everyday life.
