James R. Newman was an American mathematician and historian of mathematics. He also practiced law in New York from 1929 to 1941. During and after World War II, he held significant government roles, including Chief Intelligence Officer at the US Embassy in London and Special Assistant to the Undersecretary of War. Notably, he helped draft the Atomic Energy Act of 1946. Newman joined the board of editors for Scientific American in 1948. He is also credited with coining and first describing the mathematical concept of a "googol" in his influential book, "Mathematics and The Imagination."
In 1931 Kurt Godel published a revolutionary paper - one that challenged certain basic assumptions underlying much traditional research in mathematics and logic. Today his exploration of terra incognita has been recognized as one of the major contributions to modern scientific thought.
