a mathematician needs only paper, a pencil, an easy chair and a waste basket. Also, the criterion for success in mathematics is by and large universally accepted. This makes mathematics an attractive 'investment'. Moreover, a mathematical result is valid forever. It may fall out of fashion, or fall outside the current area of application, but even the oldest known mathematical formulae - such as that for solving quadratic equations, known 2400 years ago by Babylonians, Chinese and later the Greeks before being crystallized into its present form in 1100 AD by a Hindu mathematician called Baskhara - are the bread and butter of present-day elementary mathematics. Alas, the downside is that the results are usually not immediately applicable – and therein lies the risk. Who wants to 'invest' in something that may not lead to applications for several hundred years? The good news is that the distance between theory and application is becoming shorter and shorter.
