Abstract: The major problems and opportunities in business and industry always are initially ill-defined. The ability to identify overall structure and inter-relationships among variables is a valued result of a mathematics education. The ability to interpret key information and communicate persuasively is a valued result of working within a multi-disciplined environment. Examples will be cited and student learning recommendations offered.
