The Teaching of “Applied” Mathematics*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 03 November 2016
Extract
Attention has been recently drawn to the rapid mathematisation of science during the past half-century and the contributions to educational technique which are being made by teachers of mathematics in technical colleges.
The kind of mathematics with which they deal may be called “Applied” Mathematics, although it is far different from what is ordinarily termed applied mathematics. It may be said to include certain portions of pure mathematics, practical mathematics, theoretical mechanics and, in rare cases, such practical mechanics as is considered necessary to illustrate the theory—whereas, in fact, it should cover all applications of mathematics to the various fields of knowledge.
