Mathematics is one of the oldest academic subjects and is still very much alive and growing very fast. The advent of computers and data acquisition facilities have stretched the limits of what is possible in Mathematics to all branches of human endeavor. New developments are taking place all the time; some as a result of fresh ideas or reviewing of old techniques and problems from a fresh standpoint and others stimulated by the applications to physical, biological and social sciences, Economics, computing and so on. This has given rise to new IT based techniques of Mathematical study and created new computational methods for the purpose. Mathematics is fundamental and indispensable to modern science and technology. Progress in other disciplines is often linked to an increased use of Mathematics.
