On the other hand, demographic changes and socioeconomic trends indicate that fewer students will study mathematics or pursue mathematics-based careers. The increased need for a labor force that is more skilled in mathematics is evident from the following data summaries: · Between 1986 and the year 2000, 21 million new jobs will be added to the U.S.

· Blacks and Hispanics, relatively few of whom now study mathematics, will increase from 22 percent of the college age population in 1985 to 27 percent in 2000 and 30 percent in 2010, while the total population in this age group will decline by 18 percent between 1985 and 2000. In general, attrition from the mathematics and statistics "pipeline," although not uniform, is approximately 50 percent each year from ninth grade through the doctoral degree.
