Is the set of all sets which are not members of themselves a member of itself? — Bertrand Russell Copy Share Image
The term many presupposes the term one , and the term one presupposes the term many. — Alfred North Whitehead Copy Share Image
“We met the list comprehension briefly in Chapter 4. Syntactically, its syntax is derived from a construct in set theory notation that applies an operation… — Mark Lutz Copy Share Image
To define a thing is to substitute the definition for the thing itself. — Georges Braque Copy Share Image
“A set list? Set lists were for wimps. Wimps and professionals. Better to just get out there and communicate the set by shouting the… — Rod Stewart Copy Share Image
“Russell’s paradox threatened to deal a far more serious blow to set theory than earlier ideological objections. The problem was this: consider a set of objects – all possible types of cheesecake, say. This set may include any number of different cheesecakes (New York cheesecake, German Käsekuchen, lemon ricotta, etc.) but, because a set is not literally a cheesecake, the… — Ananyo Bhattacharya Copy Share
Once upon a time, there was a clear set of choices that people made. Now there are so many choices of how to think,… — Tamar Jacoby Copy Share Image
From out of all the many particulars comes oneness, and out of oneness come all the many particulars. — Heraclitus Copy Share Image
In general, we mean by any concept nothing more than a set of operations; the concept is synonymous with the corresponding set of operations. — Percy Williams Bridgman Copy Share Image
Choices. We all make them, sometimes more than once. Sometimes it's the choices we make over and over that define us, but more often… — Megan Hart Copy Share Image
Consciousness is a singular of which the plural is unknown. There is only one thing and that which seems to be a plurality is… — Erwin Schrodinger Copy Share Image
In mathematics, the art of asking questions is more valuable than solving problems. — Georg Cantor Copy Share Image
I realise that in this undertaking I place myself in a certain opposition to views widely held concerning the mathematical infinite and to opinions… — Georg Cantor Copy Share Image
I am so in favor of the actual infinite that instead of admitting that Nature abhors it, as is commonly said, I hold that Nature makes frequent use of it everywhere, in order to show more effectively the perfections of its Author. Thus I believe that there is no part of matter which is not - I do not say… — Georg Cantor Copy Share
The potential infinite means nothing other than an undetermined, variable quantity, always remaining finite, which has to assume values that either become smaller than… — Georg Cantor Copy Share Image
My theory stands as firm as a rock; every arrow directed against it will return quickly to its archer. How do I know this? Because I have studied it from all sides for many years; because I have examined all objections which have ever been made against the infinite numbers; and above all because I have followed its roots, so… — Georg Cantor Copy Share
I entertain no doubts as to the truths of the tranfinites, which I recognized with God's help and which, in their diversity, I have… — Georg Cantor Copy Share Image
What I assert and believe to have demonstrated in this and earlier works is that following the finite there is a transfinite (which one… — Georg Cantor Copy Share Image
A false conclusion once arrived at and widely accepted is not easily dislodged and the less it is understood the more tenaciously it is… — Georg Cantor Copy Share Image
The old and oft-repeated proposition "Totum est majus sua parte" [the whole is larger than the part] may be applied without proof only in the case of entities that are based upon whole and part; then and only then is it an undeniable consequence of the concepts "totum" and "pars". Unfortunately, however, this "axiom" is used innumerably often without any… — Georg Cantor Copy Share
In mathematics the art of proposing a question must be held of higher value than solving it. — Georg Cantor Copy Share Image
For the execution of the voyage to the Indies, I did not make use of intelligence, mathematics or maps. — Christopher Columbus Copy Share Image
Rule number something or other -- never tell anybody anything unless you're going to get something better in return. — Sara Paretsky Copy Share Image
There's no reason for men to be better at maths than women - it's just about our perception. — Rachel Riley Copy Share Image
For a physicist mathematics is not just a tool by means of which phenomena can be calculated, it is the main source of concepts… — Freeman Dyson Copy Share Image
Geometry, which should only obey Physics, when united with it sometimes commands it. If it happens that the question which we wish to examine is too complicated for all the elements to be able to enter into the analytical comparison we wish to make, we separate the more inconvenient [elements], we substitute others for them, less troublesome but also less… — Jean le Rond d'Alembert Copy Share
In school math and science were my favorite subjects, but I probably in my true self I'm more of a people person. At the… — Emily Deschanel Copy Share Image
“How in the world did I ever find you?” Mackenzie Winters “Math class.” Brandon Knight” — Bella Jeanisse Copy Share Image
“One is the notion that knowledge is worth acquiring, all knowledge, and that a solid grounding in mathematics provides one with the essential language of many of the most important forms of knowledge. The third theme is that, while it is desirable to live peaceably, there are things worth fighting for and values worth dying for—and that it is far… — William H. Patterson Jr Copy Share
“When one day Lagrange took out of his pocket a paper which he read at the Académe, and which contained a demonstration of the famous Postulatum of Euclid , relative to the theory of parallels. This demonstration rested on an obvious paralogism, which appeared as such to everybody; and probably Lagrange also recognised it such during his lecture. For, when… — Jean-Baptiste Biot Copy Share
“We are not told, or not told early enough so that it sinks in, that mathematics is a language, and that we can learn it like any other, including our own. We have to learn our own language twice, first when we learn to speak it, second when we learn to read it. Fortunately, mathematics has to be learned only… — Mortimer J. Adler Copy Share
The dialectic is neither fiction nor mysticism, but a science of the forms of our thinking insofar as it is not limited to the… — Leon Trotsky Copy Share Image
Our eyes met in the math class. How were we to know that trigonometry would lead to matrimony? — Sophie Kinsella Copy Share Image
