Significant support and guidance for this phase of the Mathematics in Industry project were provided by James M. Crowley, SIAM Executive Director, and William G. Kolata, SIAM Technical Director. The MII study was initiated by I. Edward Block, SIAM Managing Director emeritus.
We thank Elizabeth Foulkes of the American Mathematical Society for her assistance in contacting Ph.D.'s working in industry and government, and we are grateful to individual department chairs and secretaries for their help in locating master's graduates.
The SIAM Mathematics in Industry study has been supported by the National Science Foundation and the National Security Agency.
