Some sociological problems in the history of mathematics
pp. 377-383
Abstract
The relations between economic production and scientific research have become increasingly close in the present period, and with them the relations between government, industry and the social structure in general on the one hand, and mathematics on the other hand. There exists plenty of activity in what we may call the sociological aspects of contemporary mathematics, both in research and education.
