4. During the past year the Project has been studying the role of mathematics in clarifying ideas in history, geography, sociology, etc. Simple mathematical concepts can provide a surprisingly strong hold on, say, the phenomena of history, for example by graphing various quantitative data to show the meaning of the Renaissance, or of the westward migration, or of the growth of cities, etc. The modern uses of “operations research” or “operations analysis” are also of this same nature, and are valuable to citizens who do not become mathematicians. An excellent example of how mathematics can be used to get a powerful grip on social situations is: The Making of the President 1960, Pocket Books, New York, 1961, pp. 10–25.
