Mathematcs and Science
- Arithmetic is where numbers fly like pigeons in and out of your head —Carl Sandburg
- Every science, like a recurring decimal, has a beginning and no end —Anton Chekhov
In his story, On The Way, Checkhov elaborates on this as follows: “Zoology has discovered thirty-five thousand five hundred different species of insects; chemistry can count sixty-five elements; if you were to add ten zeros to the right of each of these figures, zoology and chemistry would be no nearer the end of their labors than they are now’.
- Science is, like virtue, its own … great reward —Charles Kingsley
- Science is love with seeing eyes —Elbert Hubbard
- The study of mathematics is like climbing up a steep and craggy mountain; when once you reach the top, it fully recompenses your trouble, by opening a fine, clear and extensive prospect —Tryon Edwards
