The Emphasis On Mathematical Methods Seems To

The Sciences Do Not Try To Explain, They Hardly Even Try To Interpret, They Mainly Make Models. By A Model Is Meant A Mathematical Construct Which, With The Addition Of Certain Verbal Interpretations, Describes Observed Phenomena. The Justification Of Such A Mathematical Construct Is Solely And Precisely That It Is Expected To Work-that Is, Correctly To Describe Phenomena From A Reasonably Wide Area.

The Emphasis On Mathematical Methods Seems To Be Shifted More Towards Combinatorics And Set Theory - And Away From The Algorithm Of Differential Equations Which Dominates Mathematical Physics.

You Wake Me Up Early In The Morning To Tell Me I Am Right? Please Wait Until I Am Wrong.

If You Tell Me Precisely What It Is A Machine Cannot Do, Then I Can Always Make A Machine Which Will Do Just That.

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.
