Abstract :
In a further emphasis upon the fundamental concepts in engineering education, the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn will offer the new degree of master of science in applied mathematics to meet the growing need for men with a knowledge of mathematics which can be applied broadly in all fields of engineering. Prior to the war, only a limited number of engineers availed themselves of the Polytechnic graduate course in mathematics, but the broader applications of basic sciences stimulated by wartime developments very substantially have increased the number of men enrolled in these courses today and have brought a demand for a graduate degree in the field.
