nor does it claim that mathematical scientists will be able to solve them alone –
they will need involvement with new communities and new applications.
Many thanks to the National Science Foundation (NSF) for making theMathematical Challenges for Sustainability workshop possible and for
encouraging research involving mathematical scientists on issues of
sustainability. Particular thanks go to the Division of Mathematical Sciences at
NSF for their sponsorship of the workshop. Thanks also to the Canadian
mathematical sciences institutes, which supported Canadian participation in the
workshop through support from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research
Council of Canada (NSERC).
