Formula Yields

Famous quotes containing the words formula and/or yields:

“Every formula which expresses a law of nature is a hymn of praise to God.”
—Maria Mitchell (1818–1889)

“Rules and particular inferences alike are justified by being brought into agreement with each other. A rule is amended if it yields an inference we are unwilling to accept; an inference is rejected if it violates a rule we are unwilling to amend. The process of justification is the delicate one of making mutual adjustments between rules and accepted inferences; and in the agreement achieved lies the only justification needed for either.”
—Nelson Goodman (b. 1906)
