The Mathematical Education of Scientists and Technologists--A Personal View

Flegg, H. Graham

International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 5, 1, 65-74, Jan-Mar 74

The traditional mathematical 'service' courses offered to students preparing for a science or technical career are criticized. Recommended is the replacement of these courses by integrated courses which emphasize mathematical modeling and which are prepared and taught by teams of mathematicians, scientists and technologists.
