Scholars and students have always been
great travellers. The official case for "academic mobility" is now often stated
in impressive terms as a fundamental necessity for economic and social progress
in the world, and debated in the corridors of Europe, but it is certainly
nothing new. Serious students were always ready to go abroad in search of the
most stimulating teachers and the most famous academies; in search of the purest
philosophy, the most effective medicine, the likeliest road to gold.
Mobility of this kind meant also mobility of ideas, their transference
across frontiers, their simultaneous impact upon many groups of people. The
point of learning is to share it, whether with students or with colleagues; one
presumes that only eccentrics have no interest in being credited with a
startling discovery, or a new technique. It must also have been reassuring to
know that other people in other parts of the world were about to make the same
discovery or were thinking along the same lines, and that one was not quite
alone, confronted by inquisition, ridicule or neglect. In the
twentieth century, and particularly in the last 20 years, the old footpaths of
the wandering scholars have become vast highways. The vehicle which has made
this possible has of course been the aeroplane, making contact between scholars
even in the most distant places immediately feasible, and providing for the very
rapid transmission of knowledge. Apart from the vehicle itself,
it is fairly easy to identify the main factors which have brought about the
recent explosion in academic movement. Some of these are purely quantitative and
require no further mention: there are far more centres of learning, and a far
greater number of scholars and students. In addition one must
recognise the very considerable multiplication of disciplines, particularly in
the sciences, which by widening the total area of advanced studies has produced
an enormous number of specialists whose particular interests are precisely
defined. These people would work in some isolation if they were not able to keep
in touch with similar isolated groups in other countries.
Frequently these specialisations lie in areas where very rapid
developments are taking place, and also where the research needed for
developments is extremely costly and takes a long time. It is precisely in these
areas that the advantages of collaboration and sharing of expertise appear must
evident. Associated with this is the growth of specialist periodicals, which
enable scholars to become aware of what is happening in different centres of
research and to meet each other in conferences and symposia. From these meetings
come the personal relationships which are at the bottom of almost all formalized
schemes of cooperation, and provide them with their most satisfactory
stimulus. But as the specialisations have increased in number
and narrowed in range, there had been an opposite movement towards
interdisciplinary studies. These owe much to the belief that one cannot properly
investigate the incredibly complex problems thrown up by the modern world, and
by recent advances in our knowledge along the narrow front of a single
discipline. This trend has led to a great deal of academic contact between
disciplines, and a far greater emphasis on the pooling of specialist knowledge,
reflected in the broad subjects chosen in many international
conferences.

单选题Watch a baby between six and nine months old, and you will observe the basic concepts of geometry being learned. Once the baby has mastered the idea that space is three-dimensional, it reaches out and begins grasping various kinds of objects. It is then, from perhaps nine to fifteen months, that the concepts of sets and numbers are formed. So far, so good. But now an ominous development takes place. The nerve fibers in the brain insulate themselves in such a way that the baby begins to hear sounds very precisely. Soon it picks up language, and it is then brought into direct communication with adults. From this point on, it is usually downhill all the way for mathematics, because the child now becomes exposed to all the nonsense words and beliefs of the community into which it has been so unfortunate as to have been born. Nature, having done very well by the child to this point, having permitted it the luxury of thinking for itself for eighteen months, now abandons it to the arbitrary conventions and beliefs of society. But at least the child knows something of geometry and numbers, and it will always retain some memory of the early halcyon days, no matter what vicissitudes it may suffer later on. The main reservoir of mathematical talent in any society is thus possessed by children who are about two years old, children who have just learned to speak fluently.
