Notes and References
See Howson, A. G.: ‘Some Experiences of Curriculum Development in England’, Report of the 1974 JSME/ICMI Regional Seminar, JSME, Tokyo, 1975.
An investigation recently carried out for the Social Science Research Council (McLone, R. R.The Training of Mathematicians, SSRC, 1973) showed that employers of graduate mathematicians found that they lacked not a knowledge of mathematics, but rather the ability to apply the mathematics they knew creatively and to communicate their results.
A more detailed account of this option and the reasoning which led to its establishment can be found in Hirst, K. E. and Biggs, N.: ‘Undergraduate Projects in Mathematics’,Educ. Studies in Math. 1 (1969), 252–61.
See Chapter 14 of Griffiths, H. B. and Howson, A. G.:Mathematics: Society and Curricula, Cambridge University Press, 1974 for a more detailed account of this option.

Additional information
The author would like to express his gratitude to his colleagues H. B. Griffiths, K. E. Hirst, R. R. McLone and Nancy Wilson for their help and advice in the preparation of this paper. It should also be made clear to the reader that without their efforts there would have been very little to write about!
