Pls use the following if you post. Thanks!

Dear Netters:

Recently, I have translated a book to be described in the following.
This book is targeted for scientists, scientific and
technological policy makers who wish to follow the frontiers
of modern science and technology.

The English edition is published by the US National Academy
of Sciences Press (edited by J. Glimm).
The Chinese Edition is by the Nankai University Press (May, 1992).
(Proofreaders are Mu Guoguang, Guo Moling, and Xiong Xingmei 
who are Nankai professors in Optics, Theoretical Physics,
and Economy, respectively)

The publication speed and quality is probably the best in China.
Its price is 2.80/5.00 yuan for paperback/hardcover (100 pages).
If anyone wants a copy, s/he should send me an Email
(with mailing address) and a check of $7.00/$10.00 for 
paperback/hardcover.
All profit generated from this will go to donation.
Should you be unhappy with the book, you will get your money back.

If getting a copy from China is easier, please do so.

		Preface to the Chinese Edition of
MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES, TECHNOLOGY, AND ECONOMIC COMPETITIVENESS

This report is about mathematical sciences, technology,
and economic competitiveness. Such a report is
published once every seven or eight years.
The principal editor is a member of the U.S. National Academy of
Sciences, while the scientists of major companies,
influential professors, and specialists
in various fields assisted in gathering materials,
and in discussing the report after the completion of the first draft.
The final version was published by the prestigious
National Academy of Sciences Press.

Professor James Glimm, the editor of the current report,
said in the manner of joking: forty years ago
in China "power comes from the barrel of a gun."
Starting from the nineties, he said, "power must come from
science and technology." Despite the informality of the remark, 
it is indeed the main idea of the report.

The two major reasons that drive me to translate the report
are its content and its quality. The report elaborates
from different angles the view that science and technology
are productive forces and a guarantee of the prosperity of
a country and the well-being of its people.
The fields it covers include science and technology,education,industry,
and management among others. It is surely
a helpful reference to educators and students,engineers,and businessmen.
Professor Glimm is a versatile scientist:
not only an excellent mathematician and physicist,
but also a deep thinker of computer
and management sciences. He spent two years on this short
report, weighing every word to ensure the quality of the report.
