Famous quotes containing the words geometric and/or product:
“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.”
—Samuel Butler (1612–1680)
“Evil is committed without effort, naturally, fatally; goodness is always the product of some art.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
