Fueling Innovation and Discovery: The Mathematical Sciences in the 21st Century
This publication, Fueling Innovation and Discovery: The Mathematical Sciences in the 21st Century, is a separate product being released in advance of the final report. It is based on the committee’s identification of recent advances in the mathematical sciences or advances enabled by mathematical sciences research, drawn from the committee’s assessment of the vitality of the discipline. This report is geared toward general readers who would like to know more about ongoing advances in the mathematical sciences and how these advances are changing our understanding of the world, creating new technologies, and transforming industries.
In selecting the topics for this report, the committee aimed to cover a range of mathematical sciences subfields and areas of impact, choosing topics where information was accessible and where developments could be described in a few pages. While the committee believes that all the topics covered are important and interesting, this publication is not intended to be a comprehensive selection of the most important developments in the mathematical sciences.
The committee worked primarily with mathematics writer Dana Mackenzie to prepare this report. It greatly
appreciates his insights and hard work. During late 2010 and 2011, appropriate topics were identified, experts
consulted, drafts prepared and revised, and accompanying images compiled. This report contains no committee
conclusions or recommendations.
