Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to reflect on the nature and methodology of modern applied mathematics in order to associate the result with our efforts for improvement of mathematics education. The view presented here is an outcome of the author’s activities (study and experience) in his dual specialty for many years: 45 years of research in functional analysis and its application and 35 years of mathematics education.
