Needs of collegiate mathematics across the nation are considered, and suggestions are offered to the National Science Foundation (NSF) by a professor of Mathematics at St. Olaf College (Minnesota). Changes in mathematics content, scope, and applications have implications for the college curriculum. Problems and challenges are posed by: increased enrollments in elementary courses and decreasing numbers of mathematics majors; inadequate access by faculty to computing resources; and providing mathematical courses appropriate for liberal education. The curriculum is largely elementary and out of date at most two- and four-year colleges, excluding research universities and selective liberal arts colleges. While there is a shortage of math teachers, industrial demand for mathematics graduates is high. Faculty involvement in scholarship and professional development, not only traditional research, is important to revitalizing collegiate mathematics. Recommendations include: providing a competitive system of NSF Faculty Fellowships in areas such as curriculum development, student projects, and research support; providing each mathematics faculty a high-powered computer work station; utilizing the expertise and outreach of existing professional organizations to increase leverage of limited NSF resources; and making sure that NSF staff are selected to provide balanced, informed advice.
