readiness levels, however, mathematical scientists are becoming more aware of the
need to demonstrate applicability where appropriate. However, there are many areas
that are directly applicable; the Engaging Maths brochure highlighted several examples
where the mathematical sciences were having a direct impact on areas such as
security, telecommunications, finance, industry, transport and medicine.
Research impact within the area of Mathematical Sciences can vary quite considerably from a small group of
