I believe that there exist two different worlds of Mathematics: the
world of Mathematics in Industry and the world of Mathematics at
Universities. Based on a similar activity of the human mind, which
we generally call doing mathematics, they have different aims,
different hierarchies of values and, therefore, different
structures. And there are only few contacts between them:
Mathematics at Universities in general follows its interior rules
not caring for the needs expressed by the exterior world;
Mathematics in Industry very often does not find enough time to
watch the developments in the second world and is exclusively
driven by industrial problems. The coupling of the two worlds,
however, is necessary for both of them: industry needs ideas from
academic mathematics as a source of innovation, to improve
simulations, optimisations, quality control, etc. University
mathematics needs industry as a source of exiting problems, of jobs
for their graduates, of prestige and last but not least of
additional funding. There are some attempts to make closer contact
with each other: large high tech companies have their antennas
checking new ideas for applicability - and there are attempts at
universities called Mathematics for Industry trying to find
mathematical solutions for industrial problems. However, these
attempts are quite limited: small- and medium-sized companies, for
example, have no chance to keep contact - and what academics call a
solution for a problem is often far from what industry is looking
for."
