Famous quotes containing the words squared and/or error:
“Dreams are toys.
Yet for this once, yea, superstitiously,
I will be squared by this.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“Theoretically, I grant you, there is no possibility of error in necessary reasoning. But to speak thus “theoretically,” is to use language in a Pickwickian sense. In practice, and in fact, mathematics is not exempt from that liability to error that affects everything that man does.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
