19 - 25 Sep 2003The Mathematics Education into the 21st Century ProjectThe Decidable and the Undecidable - a tribute of course to Kurt Godel, who was born and educated in Brno before moving to Vienna and the United States. The importance of his work, in freeing mathematics from the alluring but simplistic idea that all mathematics can be deduced from a few logical axioms, cannot be overestimated. Mathematics, like art, like music and literature, and like life itself, has the power to make us happy by means of our personal creativity and openness, and through our own personal resolution of what is decidable, and what is undecidable, not only in mathematics and not only in mathematics education, but in life itself.
