In the post World War II era, the Mathematics Research Center (MRC)
was one of the earliest comprehensive examples of collaboration
between the government and a university. By taking a broad view of
mathematics that embraced both the pure and applied branches, the
MRC provided a model of an interdisciplinary effort that interacted
very well with the spectrum of sciences. This book deals with the
complex and challenging organizational and scientific issues that
arose in the operation of this center.
