economically‚ and scientifically oriented‚ the education of future generations has changed with it and has become more focused into three fields: technology‚ economy‚ and science. With the intellectual focus being turned toward the sciences and mathematics‚ students and teachers have both moved away from the liberal arts‚ leaving them forgotten. Recently‚ there has been a desire to restore the liberal arts to education‚ and it has caused a strife with the teachers and students who desire the efficiency

THE IMPORTANCE OF MATHEMATICS W. T. Gowers It is with some disbelief that I stand here and prepare to address this gathering on the subject of the importance of mathematics. For a start‚ it is an extraordinary honour to be invited to give the keynote address at a millennium meeting in Paris. Secondly‚ giving a lecture on the significance of mathematics demands wisdom‚ judgment and maturity‚ and there are many mathematicians far better endowed than I am with these qualities‚ including several

PhD received from Rutgers University in 1986‚ she now studies combinational methods in 3-dimensional manifolds or topology. Topology is the study of how geometric objects are basically connected to themselves. Her contributions to the world of mathematics obtain a number of new classifications and decision results and new proofs of old results using an important cut-and-paste concept called thin position. More specifically‚ she has discovered a simplified argument that an algorithm of Rubinstein
