The celebration of deeds of ancient Danish and Swedish heroes, the poem beginning with a tribute to the royal line of Danish kings, but written in the dominant literary dialect of Anglo-Saxon England, for a number of scholars points to the 11th century reign of Canute, the Danish king whose empire included all of these areas, and whose primary place of residence was in England, as the most likely time of the poem's creation, the poem being written as a celebration of the king's heroic royal ancestors, perhaps intended as a form of artistic flattery by one of his English courtiers.

The lighting of a community Beltane fire from which each hearth fire is then relit is observed today in some parts of the Gaelic diaspora, though in most of these cases it is a cultural revival rather than an unbroken survival of the ancient tradition.

His mathematical career, for the most part, ended when he left the IHÉS.

The informal content of this naive set theory supports both the aspects of mathematical sets familiar in discrete mathematics ( for example Venn diagrams and symbolic reasoning about their Boolean algebra ), and the everyday usage of set theory concepts in most contemporary mathematics.

Sets are of great importance in mathematics ; in fact, in modern formal treatments, most mathematical objects ( numbers, relations, functions, etc.

Categories now appear in most branches of mathematics, some areas of theoretical computer science where they correspond to types, and mathematical physics where they can be used to describe vector spaces.

Gödel's incompleteness theorems are two fundamental theorems of mathematical logic which state inherent limitations of all but the most trivial axiomatic systems for mathematics.

However, in the 1930s Gödel's incompleteness theorems convinced many mathematicians that mathematics cannot be reduced to logic alone, and Karl Popper concluded that " most mathematical theories are, like those of physics and biology, hypothetico-deductive: pure mathematics therefore turns out to be much closer to the natural sciences whose hypotheses are conjectures, than it seemed even recently.

Mathematical models are used not only in the natural sciences ( such as physics, biology, earth science, meteorology ) and engineering disciplines ( e. g. computer science, artificial intelligence ), but also in the social sciences ( such as economics, psychology, sociology and political science ); physicists, engineers, statisticians, operations research analysts and economists use mathematical models most extensively.
