Throughout the years mathematics has served as the most basic and fundamental tool employed by scientists and researchers to study and describe a wide variety of fields and phenomena. One of the most important practical application areas of mathematics has been for national defense and security purposes. For example, during the Second World War, the mathematical principles underlying game theory and cryptography played a very important role in military planning. Since that time, it has become clear that mathematics has an important role to play in securing victory in any global conflict, including the struggle faced by national security and law enforcement officials in the fight against those engaged in terrorism and other illicit activities.
