NOTICE: The project that is the subject of this report was
approved by the Governing Board of the National Research
Council, whose members are drawn from the councils of the
National Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of
Engineering, and the Institute of Medicine. The members
of the committee responsible for the report were chosen for
their special competences and with regard for appropriate
balance.
This report has been reviewed by a group other than the
authors according to procedures approved by a Report
Review Committee consisting of members of the National
Academy of Sciences, the National Academy of Engineer-
ing, and the Institute of Medicine.
The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit,
self-perpetuating society of distinguished scholars engaged
in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the fur-
therance of science and technology and to their use for the
general welfare. Upon the authority of the charter granted
to it by the Congress in 1863, the Academy has a mandate
that requires it to advise the federal government on scien-
tific and technical matters. Dr. Frank Press is president of
the National Academy of Sciences.
The National Academy of Engineering was established
in 1964, under the charter of the National Academy of Sci-
ences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engineers.
It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of
its members, sharing with the National Academy of Sciences
the responsibility for advising the federal government. The
National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineer-
ing programs aimed at meeting national needs, encourages
education and research, and recognizes the superior achieve-
ments of engineers. Dr. Robert M. White is president ofthe
National Academy of Engineering.
The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the
National Academy of Sciences to secure the services of
eminent members of appropriate professions in the exami-
nation of policy matters pertaining to the health of the pub-
lic. The Institute acts under the responsibility given to the
National Academy of Sciences by its congressional charter
to be an adviser to the federal government and, upon its own
initiative, to identify issues of medical care, research, and
education. Dr. Samuel 0. Thier is president of the Institute
of Medicine.
The National Research Council was organized by the
National Academy of Sciences in 1916 to associate the broad
community of science and technology with the Academy's
purposes of furthering knowledge and advising the federal
government. Functioning in accordance with general poli-
cies determined by the Academy, the Council has become
the principal operating agency of both the National Acad-
emy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering
in providing services to the government, the public, and the
scientific and engineering communities. The Council is
administered jointly by both Academies and the Institute of
Medicine. Dr. Frank Press and Dr. Robert M. White are
chairman and vice chairman, respectively, of the National
Research Council.
The Committee on the Mathematical Sciences in the Year
200O, which was appointed at the beginning of 1988, is a
three-yearproject ofthe Mathematical Sciences Education
Board and the Board on Mathematical Sciences. Its purpose
is to provide a national agenda for revitalizing mathemati-
cal sciences education in U.S. colleges and universities.
Support for this project and for the publication and dis-
semination of this report was provided by grants from the
National Science Foundation and the National Security
Agency.

Preface
During the last decade of this century, the U.S. educational system will face many challenges, but
few more important than the renewal and revitalization of the mathematical sciences. Problems in
mathematical sciences education exist at all levels elementary, high school, and postsecondary.
These problems are caused by many factors, including a static curriculum, insufficient resources
devoted to instruction, inadequate numbers of well-trained teachers, declining student interest, and
more generally, the public's failure to understand fully the importance of education in science for the
well-being of our society. The problems manifest themselves in the product of the educational
enterprise-the scientifically trained work force that must serve the needs of our society. The
demands of the next decade and the twenty-first century will require that large numbers of America's
work force be equipped with higher levels of mathematical sophistication. Yet, the National Science
Foundation and other organizations project that by the year 2000, unless there is a dramatic change,
our nation will face a significant shortfall of people with the necessary skills in the mathematical
sciences.
In response to this crucial situation the National Research Council has established the Committee
on the Mathematical Sciences in the Year 2000, under the direction of the Mathematical Sciences
Education Board and the Board on Mathematical Sciences, to assess the present state of collegiate
education in the mathematical sciences, to identify existing problems, and to recommend action that
can remedy this situation. Itis hoped that this analysis by the committee will lead to a rational agenda
for renewal and revitalization of the mathematical sciences and to a strategy for implementation that
will stimulate all sectors of our society into action.
The present descriptive report, A Challenge of Numbers, is one of three planned by the committee.
It describes the circumstances and issues related to the human resources in the mathematical sciences,
principally students and teachers at U.S. colleges and universities. The mathematical sciences, based
largely in academia, are crucial not only for the development of new knowledge but also as a needed
resource in the education of our technological work force. As with other scientific professions, the
challenge of meeting the growing need for workers in the face of shrinking supplies will require a
program of national action, but the situation in the mathematical sciences is particularly severe.
Stetson trom the educational pipeline In mathematics has given rise to low degree production at all
levels in colleges and universities, and socioeconomic forces have resulted in unprecedentedly low
interest in mathematics as a major among entering freshmen. At the same time, growing enrollments
in lower-level mathematics courses with small or no increases in staffing levels have created less than

an ideal environment for faculty in the mathematical sciences. Because of the fundamental role of
mathematics in support of science and engineering, the problems in the U.S. educational system will
not be corrected unless the problems in mathematics education are corrected. On the other hand, a
revitalization of the mathematical sciences could lead the way in effecting change across the
educational spectrum.
A Challenge of Numbers contains data from a large number of existing sources. It provides in
one place a comprehensive set of data describing the demographic situation in the mathematical
sciences. This report does not provide answers, nor does it draw conclusions. Rather, it serves as
a reference. As such, it will be an important source of data for the Committee on the Mathematical
Sciences in the Year 2000 in formulating its recommendations. Also, it is hoped that the report will
be used by educators and administrators in industry, government, and education to alert policymakers
about the urgent need for revitalization of the mathematical sciences.
This is the second report of the MS 2000 project. The first, Everybody Counts, was published
jointly with the Mathematical Sciences Education Board and the Board on Mathematical Sciences
and provided a general analysis of the trends and needs in mathematics education. The next review
paper, to be published in late spring 1990, will assess the college and university curriculum, and the
final paper, due in summer 1990, will report on resources available for instruction in the mathemati-
cal sciences. Following the completion of the review papers, the Committee on the Mathematical
Sciences in the Year 2000 will be in a position to issue its final recommendations in a report to the
nation scheduled for late ~ 990.
On behalf of the committee, ~ want to express our gratitude to Bernard L. Madison and Therese
A. Hart for their work in compiling the necessary background information and for writing A
Challenge of Numbers. They have provided an important service to the members of the Committee
on the Mathematical Sciences in the Year 2000 and to the mathematical sciences community by
making these data available in a convenient and accessible format.
