... In addition to stimulating new mathematical and statistical developments, such collaboration would provide mathematical scientists with new problems whose realworld relevance would bring excitement and practical application. The committee believes that a considerable amount of modern mathematics and statistics would be useful in resolving problems of materials science but is not utilized because materials scientists are unaware of those mathematical and statistical results and mathematical scientists are unaware of the potential applications.

... Thus ensuring the scientific vigor, technological strength, and economic health of the nation argues in favor of stimulating and facilitating new collaboration between mathematical scientists and materials scientists. RECOMMENDATIONS Universities, government, industry, and professional societies have important roles to play in fostering the kind of interdisciplinary mathematical sciences research and education that wait enhance progress in materials science.

... Doing that would also help to raise awareness of the value of quantitative methods in materials science and in general. Federal and State Government Government funding plays a major role in facilitating cross-disciplinary work between the mathematical sciences and materials science, in attracting young researchers to the area, and in enhancing research collaboration at this interface.

... Both of these programs should be funded jointly through university, industry, and government sources; federal and state governments should initiate the programs. Professional Societies Cognizant of the important role of materials, professional societies in mathematical, engineering, and physical sciences disciplines have given increasing emphasis to materials science and processing at their meetings.
