During the last decades of the 20th century, we have entered the Digital Era. The Third Technological Revolution has an enormous socioeconomic impact. It affects modern science, including mathematics. It also determines the reforms of national education systems. Mathematicians seek to focus on the so-called concrete mathematics. They explore finite and discrete structures, rather than infinite and continuous ones. They prefer to develop combinatorics and algorithmic thinking, rather than contribute to Bourbaki’s edifice.
