Abstract

top
Terms ,,the application of mathematics '' and ,,applied mathematics'' are often used interchangeably. Some people, however, give them different meanings. I prefer the latter term, because it is the name of  this field in most languages, the names of departments, names of well-known magazines, etc. While the term "the application of mathematics" suggests the use of previously developed methods, the term "applied mathematics" indicates a new quality that distinguishes it from theoretical mathematics, also known as a carbon copy of the English awkward "pure mathematics" - Pure and Applied mathematics, e.g. the name of the journal Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, like the Journal des Mathèmatiques Pures et Appliquèes, Annali di Matematica Pura ed Applicata, to remain only the names of famous (and with high tradition) magazines.
