Mathematical Objects

Famous quotes containing the words mathematical and/or objects:

    What is history? Its beginning is that of the centuries of systematic work devoted to the solution of the enigma of death, so that death itself may eventually be overcome. That is why people write symphonies, and why they discover mathematical infinity and electromagnetic waves.
    Boris Pasternak (1890–1960)

    My objects dream and wear new costumes,
    compelled to, it seems, by all the words in my hands
    and the sea that bangs in my throat.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
