"One and one make two" assumes that the changes in the shift of circumstance are unimportant. But it is impossible for us… — Alfred North Whitehead Copy Share Image
It is my conviction that pure mathematical construction enables us to discover the concepts and the laws connecting them, which gives us… — Albert Einstein Copy Share Image
Game theory is a branch of, originally, applied mathematics, used mostly in economics and political science, a little bit in biology, that… — Colin Camerer Copy Share Image
There is nothing as dreamy and poetic, nothing as radical, subversive, and psychedelic, as mathematics. It is every bit as mind blowing… — Paul Lockhart Copy Share Image
It is a common observation that a science first begins to be exact when it is quantitatively treated. What are called the… — Charles Sanders Peirce Copy Share Image
God forbid that Truth should be confined to Mathematical Demonstration! — William Blake Copy Share Image
