Mathematical logic was initially considered a hopelessly abstract subject
with no conceivable applications. As one computer scientist commented
<http://bactra.org/notebooks/mathematical-logic.html>: “If, in 1901, a
talented and sympathetic outsider had been called upon to survey the
sciences and name the branch which would be least fruitful in [the] century
ahead, his choice might well have settled upon mathematical logic.” And
yet, it would provide the foundation for a field that would have more
impact on the modern world than any other.
