Calculations Quote by Giuseppe Peano
“Geometric calculus consists in a system of operations analogous to those of algebraic calculus, but in which the entities on which the calculations are carried out, instead of being numbers, are geometric entities which we shall define.”
About This Quote
Source Book: Formulario Mathematico, 1889
