Dear Tim,
Your mail begins with:
> Let me put this in a context for non-UK readers of this list.
I think I qualify on both counts, I am a non-UK reader, and still on
this list.
But then you continue with:
> Various=20 bodies in the UK are asking for `impact' as part of

I'm afraid I don't know what is=20 research and REF exercise. It
seems very important since you say:
> (Perhaps=20 someone else can comment on this as well as I am `out
> of this', having=20 been a victim of a previous round of such
> `exercises'.)
This importance is attested by:
> We all know that=20 mathematics is central to modern technological
> developments,
And=20 occurs in your mail more than 20 times.
Could you, or any one on the list, please explain briefly to a french
mathematician what=20 mathematics, pure and applied, and REF
exercises are?
Many thanks, and best regards,
Jean
