Today, computers catalyze the revolution of quantification and mathematization in many fields of study. Since mathematics is applicable in other discipline, a break-through in mathematics might as well results break-through in other areas of study. So that the reason we initiate a mathematical science center is to drive the inter-discipline studies of mathematical science, to be a foundation of fostering talents, and also to provide a stage and environment for returned scholars from overseas to further fame the knowledge of mathematics of Taiwan nationwide. In the future, after the construction of Astronomic-Mathematical building and relocation of Institute of Mathematics, Academia Sinica this center would also be the platform to broaden the association of both sides. I. To drive the inter-discipline studies of mathematical science Mathematics and contemporary technologies are auxiliaries of each other since the invention of Calculus by Isaac Newton. Many technology puzzles are able to be solved because of mathematics. Since 19th century, because of the experiences of the advance developments of mathematics, the “Pure Mathematics” and “Applied Mathematics” were formed. In the beginning of the 20th century, “Pure Mathematics” and “Applied Mathematics” were having each of their own important roles in many areas of study. However, since 1920, Pure Mathematics superseded Applied Mathematics gradually. To segregate the Pure and Applied Mathematics have made a great irremediable damage to the study of mathematics. The developments of computers have catalyzed the revolution of quantification, the needs in mathematics, and the break-through in many fields of study. Applied Mathematics has once again drawn the attentions. In a way of dealing with Pure and Applied Mathematics, many nations have setup “Mathematical Science Research Center” for the communication between mathematics and other discipline and to advance the researches of mathematical science.臺大數學科學中心跨領域研究培育人才國際化之競爭與合作Tai-Da Institute for mathematical sciencesInter-displine studiesfostering talentsInternationalization.
