Asterisk/usage/mathematics

Famous quotes containing the words usage and/or mathematics:

    I am using it [the word ‘perceive’] here in such a way that to say of an object that it is perceived does not entail saying that it exists in any sense at all. And this is a perfectly correct and familiar usage of the word.
    —A.J. (Alfred Jules)

    I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.
    John Adams (1735–1826)
