As a rule, we are at first impressed by the possibility of mathematics serving the community commercially. We think of those situations in which the dollar sign is used. There are the banks, stores, places of entertainment, and so on, where we either pay for services or recreation, or receive money for goods, or services rendered. Before it is possible for many of these activities to exist, other forms of mathematics have been utilized in providing the buildings, streets, bridges sanitation, light, and so forth. Beauty and orderly arrangement are desirable in all of these as well as comfort and convenience.
