	Math Forum - Key Questions: Public Support of Mathematics
		Mathematics provides us with powerful theoretical and computational techniques to advance our understanding of the modern world and societal problems, and to develop and manage the technology industries that are the backbone of our economy.
		When mathematics contributes to the understanding of particular social issues (e.g., statistical modeling to develop more accurate census estimates, formulation and interpretation of economic models (inflation, Social Security scenarios, budget models), epidemiology models, ATM security), we need to encourage the media to include this fact in their reporting.
		Ironically, this scenario means that the task of representing the value of mathematics to the general public falls disproportionately to the applications community, regarded by many within the profession as the proverbial fl sheep of the family.

	Panel Reports On State Of U.S. Mathematics
		Federal support for mathematics -- except for that provided by NSF -- is falling rapidly, according to the panel, so NSF bears a special responsibility for the future of mathematics in the United States.
		It is urgent to give more support to mathematics and to utilize that support more effectively, he added.
		Mathematics is also crucial to managing and "mining" the massive amounts of data now typically collected in many scientific experiments.

	UTR #25: Unicode and Mathematics
		This report presents a discussion of the mathematics character repertoire of the Unicode Standard [Unicode] as used for mathematics, but it is intended that this discussion apply to mathematical notation in general.
		Mathematical Markup Language (MathML™) [MathML], an XML application [XML], is a major beneficiary of the increased repertoire for mathematical symbols.
		Mathematical characters are often enhanced via use of combining marks in the ranges U+0300..U+036F and the combining marks for symbols in the range U+20D0..U+20FF.

	Mathematics
		As a language of patterns, mathematics is a means for describing the world in which we live.
		All students need a deep understanding of mathematics; for this to occur, rigorous mathematical content must be reorganized, taught, and assessed in a problem-solving environment.
		For students to develop this deeper level of understanding, their knowledge must be connected to a variety of ideas and skills across topic areas and grade levels in mathematics, to other subjects taught in school, as well as to situations outside the classroom.

	Support (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, the support of a real-valued function f on a set X is sometimes defined as the subset of X on which f is nonzero.
		In this case, the support of f is defined as the smallest closed subset of X outside of which f is zero.
		The topological support is the closure of the set-theoretic support.

	"Great Expectations" Mathematics Report, VIII
		Because mathematics is the area where students often receive their first learning "set-back", mathematics learning suffers additionally from a variety of attitude obstacles.
		Support of mathematics instruction and learning by the essential societal support systems, such as school boards and administrators, parents and guardians, business and industry, elected officials, and the media.
		The mathematics curriculum should connect mathematics to the real world and include topics that are relevant to the needs and interests of the student.
