Finite Projective Planes

Famous quotes containing the words finite and/or planes:

“Any language is necessarily a finite system applied with different degrees of creativity to an infinite variety of situations, and most of the words and phrases we use are “prefabricated” in the sense that we don’t coin new ones every time we speak.”

Buried together, unmarried men and women;”
