Keywords: Industrial Mathematics, national development, mathematical sciences
National development involves the interplay of people and their environment to enhance the living standards of members of the society. Indices for measuring national development could be material or social. The important thing is that a country develops when the welfare of its citizens are well taken care of. Industrial mathematics is a specialized field of study with various applications to national development. This study consider the role played by Industrial Mathematics in enhancing national development
