Abstract

My perspective on the dichotomy of pure and applied mathematics will be discussed. This will be related to my own life as a mathematician, neither pure nor applied; but yet I I feel like a mathematician. I will give examples of scientists who have inspired me, Newton, von Neumann, Watson and Crick, Turing.
