Extract

For all that geography, and economics, and sociology,… are becoming more mathematical, the fact remains that in the secondary school the mathematics teacher has far more points of contact with his science colleagues than with any other. Historically and in current practice mathematics and science march together—mathematics offering the language and the generality, science furnishing the motivation and feeding the imagination. Both are concerned with the identification of patterns, and progress by putting them to use.
