Math Awareness Month

In 1986 President Ronald Reagan's proclamation for the first Mathematics Awareness Week contained the paragraph:

"Despite the increasing importance of mathematics to the progress of our economy and society, enrollment in mathematics programs has been declining at all levels of the American educational system. Yet the application of mathematics is indispensable in such diverse fields as medicine, computer sciences, spaces exploration, the skilled trades, business, defense, and government. To help encourage the study and utilization of mathematics, it is appropriate that all Americans be reminded of the importance off this basic branch of science to our daily lives."
