A chapter in Mathematics Tomorrow, 1981, pp 197-212 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In recent years there has been a phenomenal growth in the professional use of mathematics, a growth so rapid that it has outstripped the capacity of many courses in our schools and colleges to train people for the mathematical tasks that are expected of them when they take employment. People who take jobs with the civilian government, the military, or industry, or who enter quantitative fields as graduate students or faculty, discover with increasing frequency these days that they lack acquaintance with important mathematical models and experience in modeling. Many of them also find to their distress that they have not been trained to be self-educating in the application of mathematics.
