An important objective of the study of mathematics is to analyze
and visualize phenomena of nature and real world problems for its
proper understanding. Gradually, it is also becoming the language
of modem financial instruments. To project some of these
developments, the conference was planned under the joint auspices
of the Indian Society of Industrial and Applied mathematics (ISlAM)
and Guru Nanak Dev University (G. N. D. U. ), Amritsar, India. Dr.
Pammy Manchanda, chairperson of Mathematics Department, G. N. D.
U., was appointed the organizing secretary and an organizing
committee was constituted. The Conference was scheduled in World
Mathematics Year 2000 but, due one reason or the other, it could be
held during 22. -25. January 2001. How ever, keeping in view the
suggestion of the International Mathematics union, we organized two
symposia, Role of Mathematics in industrial development and
vice-versa and How image of Mathematics can be improved in public.
These two symposia aroused great interest among the participants
and almost everyone participated in the deliberations. The
discussion in these two themes could be summarized in the lengthy
following lines: "Tradition of working in isolation is a barrier
for interaction with the workers in the other fields of science and
engineering, what to talk of non-academic areas, specially the
private sector of finance and industry. Therefore, it is essential
to build bridges within in stitutions and between institutions."
