description	Mathematics, while a necessary part of information technology is remarkably conservative in its working habits. Much of the mathematics needed for the computer age is still produced by paper and pencil. There are some signs of change and this paper looks more closely at what is happening. The impact of the electronic age and computers on the science of mathematics and on the style and organization of mathematical research and publication is examined.
