Famous quotes containing the words continuous and/or variables:

“Perhaps when distant people on other planets pick up some wave-length of ours all they hear is a continuous scream.”

“Science is feasible when the variables are few and can be enumerated; when their combinations are distinct and clear. We are tending toward the condition of science and aspiring to do it. The artist works out his own formulas; the interest of science lies in the art of making science.”
