... The workshop's goal was to lead the mathematical sciences community in productive directions that reflect and respond to the new imperatives facing the scientific community at large and all of society as a result of recent changes in the national and international economic and political arenas. Nominations for possible workshop participants were obtained from numerous mathematical sciences professional organizations, including the American Mathematical Society, Mathematical Association of America, Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, Association for Women in Mathematics, National Association of Mathematicians, Institute of Mathematical Statistics, American Statistical Association, National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, American Mathematical Association of Two-Year Colleges, and Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences, as well as from the Mathematical Sciences Education Board.
