Mathematics Paper

Famous quotes containing the words mathematics and/or paper:

    “In mathematics he was greater
    Than Tycho Brahe, or Erra Pater:
    For he, by geometric scale,
    Could take the size of pots of ale;
    Resolve, by sines and tangents straight,
    If bread and butter wanted weight;
    And wisely tell what hour o’ th’ day
    The clock doth strike, by algebra.”
    —Samuel Butler (1612–1680)

    “Shall quips and sentences and these paper bullets of the brain awe a man from the career of his humor? No, the world must be peopled.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
