Computer Science And Graduate Education In Applied Mathematics
The term “applied mathematics” in the title and throughout this discussion includes all areas of the mathematical sciences rather than just classical applied mathematics.
 The comments in this paper are derived from two primary sources: an ad hoc committee formed at Clemson to investigate the interface between the mathematical sciences and computer science and ideas developed in the implementation of Clemson's NSF grant “An Alternative in Higher Education in the Mathematical Sciences.” The ideas gleaned from the grant activity were developed through actual experience and through comments from many of the departmental visitors supported by the grant, especially those sixty or so conferees from industry, government, and academia who participated in the grant-sponsored conference, “Graduate Programs in the Applied Mathematical Sciences: Perspectives and Prospects”[24].
