No Other Question Has Ever Moved So

Mathematics Is A Presuppositionless Science. To Found It I Do Not Need God, As Does Kronecker, Or The Assumption Of A Special Faculty Of Our Understanding Attuned To The Principle Of Mathematical Induction, As Does Poincaré, Or The Primal Intuition Of Brouwer, Or, Finally, As Do Russell And Whitehead, Axioms Of Infinity, Reducibility, Or Completeness, Which In Fact Are Actual, Contentual Assumptions That Cannot Be Compensated For By Consistency Proofs.

In Mathematics ... We Find Two Tendencies Present. On The One Hand, The Tendency Towards Abstraction Seeks To Crystallise The Logical Relations Inherent In The Maze Of Materials ... Being Studied, And To Correlate The Material In A Systematic And Orderly Manner. On The Other Hand, The Tendency Towards Intuitive Understanding Fosters A More Immediate Grasp Of The Objects One Studies, A Live Rapport With Them, So To Speak, Which Stresses The Concrete Meaning Of Their Relations.

Keep Computations To The Lowest Level Of The Multiplication Table.

Physics Is Becoming Too Difficult For The Physicists.

Galileo Was No Idiot. Only An Idiot Could Believe That Science Requires Martyrdom - That May Be Necessary In Religion, But In Time A Scientific Result Will Establish Itself.
