A sane mind should not be guilty of a logical fallacy, yet there are very fine minds incapable of following mathematical demonstrations. Henri Poincare

Logical Mind Minds Guilty Fine Following Demonstrations Fallacy Mathematical Very Incapable Sane Should

By a combination of formal training and self study, the latter continuing systematically well into the 1940s, I was able to gain a broad base of knowledge in economics and political science, together with reasonable skills in advanced mathematics, symbolic logic, and mathematical statistics. Herbert A. Simon

Mathematics Knowledge Together Science Training Political Economics Broad Latter Systematically Statistics Logic Able Self Advanced Study Combination Well Continuing Mathematical Political Science Formal Gain Skills Reasonable Base Symbolic

Every child needs to become literate in one or more languages, and every child should become comfortable in the major scholarly disciplines - historical, scientific, mathematical, and artistic-humanistic thinking. Beyond that, I am not in favour of a uniform system. I think there should be some choices. Howard Gardner

Needs Become Every Think Thinking System Favour Some More Scholarly Major Beyond Comfortable Disciplines Scientific Am Mathematical Historical Child Literate Uniform Choices Should Languages

I do not love to be printed on every occasion, much less to be dunned and teased by foreigners about mathematical things or to be thought by our own people to be trifling away my time about them when I should be about the king's business. Isaac Newton

Ignorance and superstition ever bear a close and mathematical relation to each other. James Fenimore Cooper

Ignorance Other Relation Bear Superstition Mathematical Close Each Ever

Fashion is an archetype: you're trying to build a silhouette, and that is very similar to building up a building because you're trying to create a new structure, a new proportion, a new shape, and you're using a material to cut which is a bit mathematical. That idea of finding something new in terms of proportion is something that drives me. Jonathan Anderson

Fashion Me You Build Building Bit Finding Silhouette Similar Something Structure Something New Proportion Shape Drives Idea New Terms Because Material Mathematical Up Very Trying Which Cut Create Using

Without computers, in the 17th century, we could classify the entire animal kingdom... there was this idea of the speciation, right? And now, all a search engine is is essentially the mathematical speciation of ideas - and these things really derive from the way that language is used and the way words relate. Joshua Cohen

Animal Words Language Relate Way Kingdom Entire Classify Could Computers Idea Ideas Without Mathematical Essentially Century Really Used Engine Derive Search Search Engine Now Right Things

From Roger Bacon, the 13th century Franciscan who pioneered the scientific method, to George Lemaitre, the 20th century Belgian priest who first developed a mathematical foundation for the 'Big Bang,' people of faith have played a key role in advancing scientific understanding. Kenneth R. Miller

Faith People Key First Big Understanding Bacon Priest Developed Advancing Big Bang Scientific Scientific Method Method George Mathematical Roger Role Bang Century Who Foundation Played

I'm obviously attuned to pick up mathematics whenever I can see it. But in Mozart there is a lot of conscious use of mathematical symbolism and numbers in order to try and give messages. Marcus du Sautoy

Mathematics Try See Give Pick Messages Obviously Attuned Mathematical Lot Up Whenever Order Mozart Use Conscious Symbolism Numbers

It's my belief that you can take everyone down a logical path if you take them slowly enough, and the trouble is that mathematical brains can get scrambled a little bit on the way. You get a bad teacher, it messes you up for the rest of the journey. Marcus du Sautoy

Teacher Journey You Logical Path Rest Trouble Down Enough Everyone Way Bit Bad Slowly Take Messes Mathematical Brains Up Get Scrambled Little Little Bit Them Belief

My intention here is to make it clear that not a single cell of my composition, here in regard to The Raven, is found by chance or intuition, that the composition moved towards perfection with the precision and inevitability of a mathematical equation. Maurice Ravel

Single Intuition Composition Raven Clear Perfection Towards Make Equation Inevitability Mathematical Cell Precision Intention Moved Regard Found Here Chance

I picked economics at the end of my undergraduate time because it seemed to be a really nice combination of theory, including mathematical theory on one hand, and things that are quite practical that you can touch and see and feel. So I picked it, and I consciously thought of it as an experiment to see if I liked it. And it worked. Michael Spence

Time You Thought Economics Experiment Nice See Seemed Touch Picked Feel Combination Liked Undergraduate Practical Because Mathematical Hand End Quite Worked Really Theory Including Things

We do learn a thing or two from art. It may not be the one-to-one instruction of a moral lesson or the rote learning of a grammatical rule or mathematical concept. But the habits of mind art cultivates are important. Michelle Dean

Art Learning Mind Important Lesson Rule Moral Habits Concept Instruction Learn Cultivate Mathematical May Grammatical Rote Thing Two

I approach an action sequence almost like a mathematical problem. Sometimes you get these action sequences that you read and go, 'Oh my God, this is huge, how do I do it?' and I go, 'Just a step at a time. Sit down and plot each piece of it out.' Michelle MacLaren

God Time You Problem Sometimes Sit Action Down Approach Out Plot Step Almost Like Piece Read How Go Mathematical Huge Get Oh Just Oh My God Sequence Each

Statistics: the mathematical theory of ignorance. Morris Kline

Ignorance Statistics Mathematical Theory

The immediacy of mystic experience simply means that we know God just as we know other objects. God is not a mathematical entity or a system of concepts mutually related to one another and having no reference to experience. Muhammad Iqbal

God Experience Other Related Immediacy System Mutually Objects Having Entity Mystic Simply Know Concepts Another Reference Mathematical Just Means

When I'm actually writing by hand, I get more of a sense of the rhythm of sentences, of syntax. The switch to the computer is when I actually start thinking about lines. That's the workhorse part. At that point, I'm being more mathematical about putting the poem on the page and less intuitive about the rhythm of the syntax. Natasha Trethewey

Writing Sense Thinking Syntax Intuitive About Poem More Point Computer Part Putting Lines Mathematical Hand Get Being Rhythm Sentences Page Less Switch Actually Start

I don't believe you can reduce the world to a mathematical formula. I start with the world, assume it's complicated, and ask where can I get help from a whole range of disciplines. Noreena Hertz

You World Complicated Believe Assume Range Disciplines Reduce Mathematical Get Where Formula Ask Help Whole Start

As long as there is a mathematical chance, we have to keep on going. Ottmar Hitzfeld

Long Mathematical Going Keep Chance

We will never fully explain the world by appealing to something outside it that must simply be accepted on faith, be it an unexplained God or an unexplained set of mathematical laws. Paul Davies

God Faith World Will Must Something Laws Outside Never Simply Accepted Mathematical Unexplained Explain Fully Appealing Set

To a person of analytical ability, perceptive enough to realise that mathematical equipment was a powerful sword in economics, the world of economics was his or her oyster in 1935. The terrain was strewn with beautiful theorems begging to be picked up and arranged in unified order. Paul Samuelson

Beautiful World Economics Strewn Enough Analytical Ability Perceptive Picked Powerful Terrain Arranged Equipment His Mathematical Up Begging Person Order Realise Unified Theorems Sword Her

One of the pleasing things about science is that we do all climb towards the heavens on the shoulders of our predecessors. Economics, like physics, has its heroes, and the letter 'H' that I used in my mathematical equations was not there to honor Sir William Hamilton, but rather Harold Hotelling. Paul Samuelson

Science Physics Heroes Honor Economics Our Harold Pleasing William About Rather Towards Like Equations Climb Hamilton Mathematical Sir Heavens Predecessors Shoulders Used Letter Things

I remember, at MIT, we had to write an essay about something mathematical that you do in your extra time. I basically wrote about how dance, to me, was geometry: it was all shapes. Payal Kadakia
