Mathematical Entities

Famous quotes containing the words mathematical and/or entities:

“The circumstances of human society are too complicated to be submitted to the rigour of mathematical calculation.”

“What are you now? If we could touch one another,
if these our separate entities could come to grips,
clenched like a Chinese puzzle . . . yesterday
I stood in a crowded street that was live with people,
and no one spoke a word, and the morning shone.
Everyone silent, moving. . . . Take my hand. Speak to me.”
—Muriel Rukeyser (1913–1980)
