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)

“It is to be noted that when any part of this paper appears dull there is a design in it.”
—Richard Steele (1672–1729)
