Each major discovery opens new areas rich with potential for further exploration. In the last century alone, the number of mathematical disciplines has grown at an exponential rate; examples include the ideas of Georg Cantor on transfinite sets, Sonja Kovalevsky on differential equations, Alan Turing on computability, Emmy Noether on abstract algebra, and, most recently, Benoit Mandelbrot on fractals.

PATTERN present and future practice of mathematics at work, in science, in research—that should shape education in mathematics. To prepare effective mathematics curricula for the future, we must look to patterns in the mathematics of today to project, as best we can, just what is and what is not truly fundamental.
