While the distinction between pure and applied mathematics remains somewhat elusive, philosophers have been interested in understanding the nature of each. Moreover, the idea that there are actually two uses of mathematics, an explanatory and a heuristic one, has begun to feature more and more prominently in recent philosophical debates. This topical collection showcases papers discussing both these uses, with some of the contributions also tackling the way they are related to each other.
