Famous quotes containing the words science and/or mathematics:

    “Curiosity engenders both science and scandal.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “The three main medieval points of view regarding universals are designated by historians as realism, conceptualism, and nominalism. Essentially these same three doctrines reappear in twentieth-century surveys of the philosophy of mathematics under the new names logicism, intuitionism, and formalism.”
    —Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
