Applied Mathematics is currently going in all directions, following many new applications as they arise. The advent of computers enables the numerical implementation of very abstract ideas and theories from core mathematics. For this reason the good applied mathematician must have a strong core mathematics background. He/she will find it extremely helpful to possess the skills and ability for abstraction. Such abstraction is often used to successfully solve applied problems, or to relate one set of problems to another.
