| dc.subject | The field of mathematics is traditionally divided into two branches: pure and applied mathematics. This division dates back to the early nineteenth century and resulted from many different developments in mathematics and academics. In this thesis, we trace back these developments to investigate the position and development of applied mathematics as an increasingly self-contained discipline. We examine the relationship between pure and applied mathematics as scientific fields and provide a case s | |
