Report: NBS Technical Advisory Committee for Mathematics

JUL 01, 1957
A. H. Taub

The National Bureau of Standards Technical Advisory Committee for Mathematics has reviewed the work of the Applied Mathematics Division of the Bureau (Division 11) and finds that in spite of the difficulty this division is having in maintaining its present staff and acquiring new staff, it is providing very excellent mathematical, computational, and statistical services to other agencies of the government as well as to other Bureau divisions. The four sections of Division 11, Numerical Analysis Section (11.01), the Computation Laboratory (11.02), the Statistical Engineering Laboratory (11.03), and the Mathematical Physics Section (11.04), have interesting, useful, and imaginative research and training programs which make them effective organizations for the discharge of their responsibilities.
