"Mathematics plays a vital role in all aspects of business and commerce - from encryption for secure internet and financial transactions to modelling complex systems in engineering - Mathematics is essential. The Industrial Mathematics KTN is one of the most effective mechanisms for getting the latest thinking into real application areas. It is the KTN that touches most areas of industry and provides excellent value in both financial and benefit terms. As a mathematician by education I'm delighted that Industrial Mathematics is making such a forceful contribution to the nation's wealth creation." - Nick Buckland, Technology Strategy Board member, Deputy Chairman, South West Regional Development Agency

"Working with the Industrial Mathematics KTN team inspires the search for innovation outcomes of the highest standards." - Richard Max-Lino, (MSc London, MBA Rotterdam, PRINCE2), Lead Technologist - High Value Service Sector, Technology Strategy Board

"My involvement on the Industrial Advisory Board of The KTN has been useful both to QinetiQ and to me personally in a number of ways. I have been able to alert QinetiQ to KTN developments of relevance to its diverse businesses. I have greatly extended my network of contacts in British universities and my general awareness of what is going on in British Mathematics – and what is going on is very exciting, with Mathematics being applied in many new ways I had not previously envisaged to realise commercial benefits for the companies concerned. One such contact has directly resulted in a potential business opportunity for QinetiQ that could be of considerable significance to our armed forces, with regard to saving of lives. On a more personal level, it was through the KTN that I got to know Professor Frank Smith well enough to approach him about hosting me on a Royal Society Industry Fellowship." - Dr John Curtis, Royal Society Industry Fellow, QinetiQ
