Moment Generating Function

Famous quotes containing the words moment and/or function:

    One of the few moments of happiness a man knows in Australia is that moment of meeting the eyes of another man over the tops of two beer glasses.
    —Anonymous. Quoted by Bruce Chatwin in “From the Notebooks,” ch. 30, The Songlines (1987)

    If the children and youth of a nation are afforded opportunity to develop their capacities to the fullest, if they are given the knowledge to understand the world and the wisdom to change it, then the prospects for the future are bright. In contrast, a society which neglects its children, however well it may function in other respects, risks eventual disorganization and demise.
    Urie Bronfenbrenner (b. 1917)
