Abstract
This motto is the first sentence of the beautiful opening address at the International Congress of Mathematicians held in Stockholm in August, 1962 Teichmüller Spaces given by the great expert on the Riemann moduli problem. Lars V. Ahlfors was the first winner of the Fields medal (in 1936, together with J. Douglas).
Riemann’s classical problem of moduli is not a problem with a single aim, but rather a program to obtain maximum information about a whole complex of questions which can be viewed from several different angles.
