Steve La Rocque brought to my attention a commentary article in
<i>Nature</i> 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.
