Mathematical Quotations A Back to MQS Home Page Forward to "B" Quotations Abel, Niels H. (1802 - 1829) If you disregard the very simplest cases, there is in all of mathematics not a single infinite series whose sum has been rigorously determined. In other words,the most important parts of mathematics stand without a foundation. In G. F. Simmons, Calculus Gems , New York: Mcgraw Hill, Inc., 1992, p. 188. [A reply to a question about how he got his expertise:] By studying the masters and not their pupils. [About Gauss' mathematical writing style] He is like the fox, who effaces his tracks in the sand with his tail. In G. F. Simmons, Calculus Gems , New York: Mcgraw Hill, Inc., 1992, p. 177. Adams, Douglas (1952 - 2001) Bistromathics itself is simply a revolutionary new way of understanding the behavior of numbers. Just as Einstein observed that space was not an absolute but depended on the observer's movement in space, and that time was not an absolute, but depended on the observer's movement in time, so it is now realized that numbers are not absolute, but depend on the observer's movement in restaurants. The first nonabsolute number is the number of people for whom the table is reserved. This will vary during the course of the first three telephone calls to the restaurant, and then bear no apparent relation to the number of people who actually turn up, or to the number of people who subsequently join them after the show/match/party/gig, or to the number of people who leave when they see who else has turned up.

@import url("/rjo3.css"); RJO search Teaching HSS 208W Syllabus The sciences in the twentieth century have usually been divided into physical sciences, life sciences, and social sciences, but this classification of the sciences is largely a twentieth-century invention. In the nineteenth century and earlier it was common to divide the sciences into those that took a structural-experimental approach to their subjects—the philosophical sciences—and those that took an historical approach—the historical sciences. In the seventeenth century the same scholars who were debating the true nature of fossils were also collecting data on the history of the English language and the burial practices of the ancient Romans. In the nineteenth century many linguists compared their reconstructions of ancient languages to the work of geologists, and Charles Darwin in the Origin of Species explained the divergence of varieties of biological species by comparing them to language dialects. In this course we will examine the historical sciences as a coherent whole, reviewing their shared histories and exploring their common methods. Students will not only gain a factual understanding of the history and practice of the historical sciences but will also be encouraged to challenge the intellectual framework of the twentieth century that has dis-integrated the historical sciences and dispersed them across the academic landscape.

47. William Shakespeare John Aubrey (16261697) tells in Brief Lives that Shakespeare s father was abutcher and the young William exercised his father s trade, http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/shakespe.htm

Choose another writer in this calendar: by name: A B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback William Shakespeare (1564-1616) English poet, dramatist, and actor, considered by many to be the greatest dramatist of all time. Some of Shakespeare's plays, such as Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet , are among the most famous literary works of the world. However, his early works did not match the artistic quality of Marlowe's dramas. Ben Jonson (1572-1637), another contemporary playwright, wrote that Shakespeare's "wit was in his own power; would the rule of it had been so too". Shakespeare possessed a large vocabulary for his day, having used 29,066 different words in his plays. Today the average English-speaking person uses something like 2,000 words in everyday speech. "It may be that the essential thing with Shakespeare is his ease and authority and thay you just have to accept him as he is if you are going to be able to admire him properly, in the way you accept nature, a piece of scenery for example, just as it is." (Ludwig Wittgenstein in Culture and Value Christopher Marlowe , Queen Elizabeth or Edward De Vere (1550-1604), whom T.J. Looney identified in 1920 as the author of Shakespeare's plays. A large body of 'Oxfordians' have since built on this claim and the reluctance to believe that a man of humble origins could be such a great author. According to some numerologists, Shakespeare wrote The King James Version of the Bible at the age of 46. Their "evidence":

As the story is related to history by Pliny the Younger, the philosopher once stayed at a house which was believed to have been haunted by a phantom apparition swathed in chains. When the figure appeared to Athenodorus one moonlit evening, he followed the ghost out to the garden, where it disappeared over a patch of bare earth. When the sun had risen, Athenodorus ordered the spot dug up and there found a human skeleton bound in chains. According to Pliny, the ghost never again troubled the home after being given a proper burial. Aubrey, John (1626-1697): Celebrated as both an antiquary and a folklorist, Aubrey is credited with being one of the first collectors of ghost stories. His compilation, Miscellanies was published in 1696 and is filled with tales of ghostly encounters he had noted from first-hand accounts of eye-witnesses gathered from all points of Great Britain. Aubery's interest in the supernatural stemmed directly from his own personal experiences. In his Miscellanies, Aubery writes of strange knocking sounds emanating from the walls of his home just prior to his father's death. "Three or four days before my father died," he wrote, "as I was in my bed about nine o'clock in the morning, perfectly awake, I did hear three distinct knocks over the bed's head, as if it had been with a ruler or ferula." This unusual incident, when combined with his interviews of others who had encountered ghosts, left Aubery utterly convinced that the spirit realm was a reality.

52. Quotations By Hobbes A quotation about Thomas Hobbes by John Aubrey (16261697) He was 40 years oldbefore he looked on geometry; which happened accidentally. http://www-groups.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Quotations/Hobbes.html

Quotations by Thomas Hobbes There is more in Mersenne than in all the universities together. Quoted in G Simmons Calculus Gems (New York 1992). To understand this for sense it is not required that a man should be a geometrician or a logician, but that he should be mad. ["This" is that the volume generated by revolving the region under 1/ x from 1 to infinity has finite volume.] Quoted in N Rose Mathematical Maxims and Minims (Raleigh N C 1988). The errors of definitions multiply themselves according as the reckoning proceeds; and lead men into absurdities, which at last they see but cannot avoid, without reckoning anew from the beginning. Quoted in J R Newman, The World of Mathematics (New York 1956). A quotation about Thomas Hobbes by John Aubrey (1626-1697) He was 40 years old before he looked on geometry; which happened accidentally. Being in a gentleman's library, Euclid's Elements lay open, and "twas the 47 El. libri I" [Pythagoras' Theorem]. He read the proposition . "By God", sayd he, "this is impossible:" So he reads the demonstration of it, which referred him back to such a proposition; which proposition he read. That referred him back to another, which he also read. Et sic deinceps , that at last he was demonstratively convinced of that trueth. This made him in love with geometry.

Collecting Antique Maps A Brief Introduction Geographia . From that time printed maps vividly reflect the history of the great discoveries and voyages of exploration, from Columbus to Drake and Cook to Livingstone, and the advancement in geographical knowledge, from the discovery of America to that of the source of the Nile. All known areas of the world were mapped to a greater or lesser degree depending on current knowledge and subsequently with a varying standard of accuracy. Many early mapmakers were reluctant to leave gaps where information was not known, preferring to insert supposed coastlines (many erroneous), fanciful creatures, comments or simply decorative embellishments. However, it is just this romanticism which creates the appeal and fascination that caused Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) to comment: " So geographers in Afric-maps, With savage pictures fill their gaps; Place elephants for want of towns." Collecting maps is not a new pastime, but is still relatively unplumbed. From the sixteenth century maps and atlases were an essential component of any fine library. Dr. John Dee (1527-1608 Geographer to Queen Elizabeth I) noted: "some to beautify their halls, parlours and chambers ... liketh, loveth, getteth, and useth maps, charts and geographical globes". During the following century the famous diarist John Aubrey (1626-1697) remarked on the interest of collectors who "loveth to visit booksellers shops there to lye gaping on maps". Getting Started
