[cmath] Fwd: Good article for promoting pure math research

[Peter Taylor]

Steve La Rocque brought to my attention a 
commentary article in Nature which came out today 
celebrating the unanticipated impact of 
mathematics research.  It's great to see such 
articles in Nature and it's certainly timely for 
us in Canada(!)  At the bottom of the article 
there is a useful link to the work of the British 
Society for the History of Math in collecting 
interesting stories about applications.
