Wikipedia
At the age of 18, Gödel joined his brother in Vienna and entered the University of Vienna.
By that time, he had already mastered university-level mathematics.
Although initially intending to study theoretical physics, he also attended courses on mathematics and philosophy.
During this time, he adopted ideas of mathematical realism.
He read Kant's Metaphysische Anfangsgründe der Naturwissenschaft, and participated in the Vienna Circle with Moritz Schlick, Hans Hahn, and Rudolf Carnap.
Gödel then studied number theory, but when he took part in a seminar run by Moritz Schlick which studied Bertrand Russell's book Introduction to Mathematical Philosophy, he became interested in mathematical logic.
According to Gödel mathematical logic was " a science prior to all others, which contains the ideas and principles underlying all sciences.
