On the direction of ideas and the principal tendencies of the Vienna Mathematical Colloquium

Karl Menger

A chapter in Karl Menger, 1998, pp 63-76 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This article is not so much intended as a recapitulation of all the results achieved by the Vienna Mathematical Colloquium1 during its six years of existence-such a recapitulation would in fact require a much larger space-but intends instead to expound the direction of the ideas that were pursued in this colloquium. Moreover, we limit ourselves to shedding light on the tendencies of the colloquium in the direction of geometry, although it certainly did not deal exclusively with geometrical studies. And in truth, apart from the fact that the geometric researches cultivated in this colloquium often required investigations into other fields of mathematics, other studies, above all in logic2, but also regarding new applications of the exact sciences to problems of a sociological character, were carried out.3
