Dickinson College A knowledge of mathematics is necessary not only to conquer space, but also to solve every- day industrial, business, and domestic problems. There is no profession which is entirely devoid of some kind of mathematics; however, the new emphasis on the engineering profession requires a wider, deeper understanding of mathematics.
