Hilbert’s early career: Encounters with allies and rivals
2005
It seems to me that the mathematicians of today understand each other far too little and that they do not take an intense enough interest in one another. They also seem to know—so far as I can judge—too little of our classical authors (Klassiker); many, moreover, spend much effort working on dead ends. “ David Hilbert to Felix Klein, 24 July 1890

Rockefeller Philanthropy and Mathematical Emigration between World Wars
2015
Published version of an article in the journal: The Mathematical Intelligencer. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s00283-014-9530-9 This article discusses one aspect of Rockefeller support for mathematics: the emigration of mathematicians from Europe. For the broader policies of the Rockefeller philanthropies for internationalization of mathematics, see my monograph Siegmund-Schultze (2001), which together with other sources will be broadly used in the following and will be quoted as RI.
