... Although the National Science Foundation is not ordinarily thought of as a mission-oriented agency, its direct mission of supporting the advance of the main lines of scientific research as developed within the mathematical sciences is actually the most vital science mission of all. Appropriate forms of support must accomodate themselves to a variety of objectives, to the varying relations between supply and demand of research manpower, and to the size and structure of the science activities in educational institutions.
