Some mathematical thoughts and mathematical technology have also been <br /> vital in war. During World War II mathematical work by the Anti-Hitler coalition <br /> was part of an aspiration to serve humanity and not help destroy it. At present, <br /> it is not an easy task to view the bellicose potentials of mathematics in a <br /> proper perspective. The book presents historical evidence and recent changes in <br /> the interaction between mathematics and the military. It discusses the new <br /> mathematically enhanced development of military technology which seems to have <br /> changed the very character of modern warfare. <br /> <br /> Table of Contents<br /> <br /> Introduction 1<br /> Military Work in Mathematics 1914-1945: An Attempt at an International <br /> Perspective 23<br /> The Brains behind the Enigma Code Breaking before the Second World War <br /> 83<br /> On the Defence Work of A.
