WHAT MIGHT BE DONE IN MATHEMATICS

Professor E. Phibbs

The last few years have seen a revival of interest in the subject matter of the mathematics curriculum in the schools . The volume of mathematical research has increased enormously. The demand for mathematicians by our society is increasing rapidly; not only for defence purposes but also in the fields of sociology , economics, and business. This being so, it has become increasingly necessary to do all that is possible to train mathematicians quickly and efficiently.
