Inaugural lecture--Department of Mathematics, Rand Afrikaans University, 7 August 1968@@Mathematics reflects the spirit and character of the period in which it came into being. It is the culmination of centuries of interaction between the subject and the cultures which bore it. We are today also establishing something of the 20th Century in the mathematics we practice. Conversely, mathematics is undeniably exerting an influence on our other cultural creations and the contact points can only be defined when seen in perspective.
