Extract

As a science becomes mature it usually relies more and more on mathematical ideas. It has followed that in so far as mathematics is not entirely a “pure” subject, its content has been dictated by the more mature, that is, by the physical sciences. Nevertheless, it is slowly being appreciated that the permeation of mathematics through to the non-physical sciences must imply sooner or later a partial reorientation of the existing attitude.
