Famous quotes containing the words connection and/or mathematics:
“The connection between our knowledge and the abyss of being is still real, and the explication must be not less magnificent.”

“In mathematics he was greater
Than Tycho Brahe, or Erra Pater:
For he, by geometric scale,
Could take the size of pots of ale;
Resolve, by sines and tangents straight,
If bread and butter wanted weight;
And wisely tell what hour o th day
The clock doth strike, by algebra.”
