  • Q: Why Do We Need Math in Research?
  • A (by David Hilbert): Alles, was Gegenstand des wissenschaftlichen Denkens überhaupt sein kann, verfällt, sobald es zur Bildung einer Theorie reif ist, der axiomatischen Methode und damit mittelbar der Mathematik. Durch Vordringen zu immer tieferliegender Schichten von Axiomen im vorhin dargelegten Sinne gewinnen wir auch in das Wesen des wissenschaftlichen Denkens selbst immer tiefere Einblicke und werden uns der Einheit unseres Wissens immer mehr bewußt. In dem Zeichen der axiomatischen Methode erscheint die Mathematik berufen zu einer führenden Rolle in der Wissenschaft überhaupt.
  • Translation by GPT: Everything, which may possibly be subject to scientific thought, as soon as it is ready for the development of a theory, comes within the scope of the axiomatic method and thus becomes treatable by means of mathematics. By advancing to ever deeper layers of axioms in the sense explained above, we also gain deeper insights into the nature of scientific thinking itself and become increasingly aware of the unity of our knowledge. In the guise of the axiomatic method, mathematics appears to be destined for a leading role in science as a whole.
