A Basis for a New Relationship Between Mathematics and Society

Jean Pierre Bourguignon

A chapter in Mathematics Unlimited — 2001 and Beyond, 2001, pp 171-188 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In today’s society, mathematics is present more widely than ever before, but this is rarely acknowledged, even by mathematicians. As a result, exactly at a moment where citizens need to be comfortable with situations involving mathematical knowledge, so as to be helped with the ever-complex choices they have to make, mathematicians are not ready to properly face this new challenge. Time has come to look for a basis for this new relationship between mathematics and society.
