The Total Subject Of Mathematics Is Clearly Too Broad For Any Of Us. I Do Not Think That Any Mathematician Since Gauss Has Covered It Uniformly And Fully; Even Hilbert Did Not And All Of Us Are Of Considerably Lesser Width Quite Apart From The Question Of Depth Than Hilbert.

The Calculus Was The First Achievement Of Modern Mathematics And It Is Difficult To Overestimate Its Importance. I Think It Defines More Unequivocally Than Anything Else The Inception Of Modern Mathematics; And The System Of Mathematical Analysis, Which Is Its Logical Development, Still Constitutes The Greatest Technical Advance In Exact Thinking.

Kurt Godel's Achievement In Modern Logic Is Singular And Monumental - Indeed It Is More Than A Monument, It Is A Landmark Which Will Remain Visible Far In Space And Time. ... The Subject Of Logic Has Certainly Completely Changed Its Nature And Possibilities With Godel's Achievement.

I Am A Little Troubled About The Tea Service In The Electronic Computer Building. Apparently The Members Of Your Staff Consume Several Times As Much Supplies As The Same Number Of People Do In Fuld Hall And They Have Been Especially Unfair In The Matter Of Sugar.... I Should Like To Raise The Question Whether It Would Not Be Better For The Computer People To Come Up To Fuld Hall At The End Of The Day At 5 O'clock And Have Their Tea Here Under Proper Supervision.

Science, As Well As Technology, Will In The Near And In The Farther Future Increasingly Turn From Problems Of Intensity, Substance, And Energy, To Problems Of Structure, Organization, Information, And Control.
