Any one who considers arithmetical methods of producing random digits is, of course, in a state of sin. For, as has been pointed out several times, there is no such thing as a random number - there are only methods to produce random numbers, and a strict arithmetic procedure of course is not such a method.

You wake me up early in the morning to tell me I am right? Please wait until I am wrong.

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.

Technological possibilities are irresistible to man. If man can go to the moon, he will. If he can control the climate, he will.

With four parameters I can fit an elephant, and with five I can make him wiggle his trunk.

Problems are often stated in vague terms... because it is quite uncertain what the problems really are.

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.
