Bruno Buchberger, Round Table Discussion at the European
Congress of Mathematicians, Barcelona, 2001:
"Many
mathematicians (in particular many of those who call
themselves "pure") have a very limited view on the essence
of the computational aspect of mathematics. This is not
only in sharp contrast to the comprehensive view of
mathematicians in earlier centuries but is also a serious
obstacle to having mathematics accepted as the core
technology for the present information and communication
society."
