Approach your problems from the right end It isnt that they cant see the solution. It is and begin with the answers. Then one day that they cant see the problem. perhaps you will find the final question. G. K. Chesterton. The Scandal of Fother The Hennit Clad in Crane Feathers in R. Brown The point of a Pin. van GWs The Chinese More Murders. Growing specialization and diversification have brought a host of monographs and textbooks on increasingly specialized topics. However the tree of knowledge of mathematics and related fields does not grow only by putting forth new branches. It also happens quite often in fact that branches which were thought to be completely disparate are suddenly seen to be related. Further the kind and level of sophistication of mathematics applied in various sciences has changed drastically in recent years: measure theory is used (non trivially) in regional and theoretical economics; algebraic geometry interacts with physics; the Minkowsky lemma coding theory and the structure of water meet one another in packing and covering theory; quantum fields crystal defects and mathematical programming profit from homotopy theory; Lie algebras are relevant to filtering; and prediction and electrical engineering can use Stein spaces. And in addition to this there are such new emerging subdisciplines as experimental mathematics CFD completely integrable systems chaos synergetics and large scale order which are almost impossible to fit into the existing classification schemes. They draw upon widely different sections of mathematics.
