This is a translation of an article written by John von Neumann, one of the most outstanding mathematicians of the twentieth century, whose works have played a major role in shaping contemporary mathematics-- both pure and applied. Without assuming the audience's deep familiarity with mathematics, the author elaborates his point of view about the dual nature of mathematics (dependence on experimental sciences, and independence from them). In the interest of better reflecting the content of the article, the original title "The Mathematician" has been changed to the current one.
