A series on the teaching of mathematics

The sophistication of modem industrial research has led to an increasing demand for industrial mathematicians. But the supply is inadequate-and inappropriately trained. Indeed, it has been said that ' the value of a mathematician to industry is inversely proportional to the quality of his degree.
