I must say I fail to see how this isn't an argument for lumping the two teams together (or, as I suggested in my other message, lump all the "computation-scientifically" oriented teams into one; I'd wager the domain-specific expertise often varies just as much within one of the current teams as it does across them). Again, I have no strong opinions against the forming of the math team, certainly not when wearing my mathematician's (dunce) hat, but it seems to me that several of the arguments for doing so boil down to "things won't be worse, and they might be better", with some additional work needed to align conventions in order to ensure that things in fact will not be worse. Best, Gard
