This ring belongs to the black hand. He killed your dad.
Quantum mechanics, with its leap into statistics, has been a mere palliative for our ignorance
I believe that proving is not a natural activity for mathematicians.
Topology is precisely the mathematical discipline that allows the passage from local to global.
The purely formal language of geometry describes adequately the reality of space. We might say, in this sense, that geometry is successful magic. I should like to state a converse: is not all magic, to the extent that it is successful, geometry?
Catastrophe Theory is-quite likely-the first coherent attempt (since Aristotelian logic) to give a theory on analogy. When narrow-minded scientists object to Catastrophe Theory that it gives no more than analogies, or metaphors, they do not realise that they are stating the proper aim of Catastrophe Theory, which is to classify all possible types of analogous situations.
All models divide naturally. . . into two a priori parts: one is kinematics, whose aim is to parameterize the forms of the states of the process under consideration, and the other is dynamics, describing the evolution in time of these forms.
Theres nothing to fear but fears themselves, such as monsters, rejection, food poisoning, redundancy, monsters, and oxford commas.
Our future will be shaped by the assumptions we make about who we are and what we can be.
The link between rational individual behavior and collectively desirable outcomes is extremely tenuous.
I don't believe anybody can really grasp everything that's even in one textbook.
