>VOTING ON THE TOP TEN CONTRIBUTIONS TO MATHEMATICS
>IN THE 20TH CENTURY

Shouldn't one entry to the top math'l contributions in the 20th century be

        non-standard models; Skolem, including Lowenheim-Skolem paradox,
                the non-standard reals: calculus with legitimate infinitesimals,
                        and generally the work of Abraham Robinson.
                                Call it all Model Theory.

Best wishes from Annapolis,

Sam Kutler
