— Anish Kapoor

[Graphics] is a strict and simple system of signs, which anyone can learn to use and which leads to better understanding.

— Jacques Bertin

Algebras are geometric facts which are proved.

— Omar Khayyam

Do mathematics have a relation to reality or are they only a mathematical symbol?

— Fulton J. Sheen

Geometry, like arithmetic, requires for its logical development only a small number of simple, fundamental principles. These fundamental principles are called the axioms of…
