Geometry Is The Most Complete Science.

I Didn't Work Especially Hard At Mathematics At School, Because I Knew That's What I'd Be Doing Later.

An Old French Mathematician Said: "a Mathematical Theory Is Not To Be Considered Complete Until You Have Made It So Clear That You Can Explain It To The First Man Whom You Meet On The Street." This Clearness And Ease Of Comprehension, Here Insisted On For A Mathematical Theory, I Should Still More Demand For A Mathematical Problem If It Is To Be Perfect; For What Is Clear And Easily Comprehended Attracts, The Complicated Repels Us.

No Other Question Has Ever Moved So Profoundly The Spirit Of Man; No Other Idea Has So Fruitfully Stimulated His Intellect; Yet No Other Concept Stands In Greater Need Of Clarification Than That Of The Infinite.

Who Of Us Would Not Be Glad To Lift The Veil Behind Which The Future Lies Hidden; To Cast A Glance At The Next Advances Of Our Science And At The Secrets Of Its Development During Future Centuries? What Particular Goals Will There Be Toward Which The Leading Mathematical Spirits Of Coming Generations Will Strive? What New Methods And New Facts In The Wide And Rich Field Of Mathematical Thought Will The New Centuries Disclose?

One Must Be Able To Say At All Times--instead Of Points, Straight Lines, And Planes--tables, Chairs, And Beer Mugs
