Famous quotes containing the words mathematical and/or logic:

    All science requires mathematics. The knowledge of mathematical things is almost innate in us.... This is the easiest of sciences, a fact which is obvious in that no one’s brain rejects it; for laymen and people who are utterly illiterate know how to count and reckon.
    Roger Bacon (c. 1214–c. 1294)

    You can no more bridle passions with logic than you can justify them in the law courts. Passions are facts and not dogmas.
    Alexander Herzen (1812–1870)
