This part of the report contains an overview of the mathematical
sciences. It has been written in a form that we hope will be mean-
ingful to nonmathematicians. In order to accomplish this, and to
keep the report within reasonable size, it was necessary to sacrifice
any attempt at completeness. It was also necessary to avoid details
and the use of symbolism, without which a profound discussion of
mathematical subjects may be impossible. Yet we hope that this
Part, supplemented by our collection of essays,7 will communicate
to the nonmathematical scientist and the educated layman a feeling
for the intellectual atmosphere of mathematical sciences at the
threshold of the last third of the twentieth century.
Representative terms from entire chapter:
