"Mathematics is the music of reason"

James Joseph Sylvester "12 for 23… It doesn’t take a genius
to see that’s under 50 percent"
"But in the new math approach, Dick Vitale
the important thing is to understand what
you're doing, rather than to get the right answer" "That awkward moment when you
Tom Lehrer finish a math problem and your answer
isn’t even one of the many choices”
“Sometimes it happens Ritu Ghatour
that a man's circle of horizon becomes
smaller and smaller, and as the radius “The different branches of Arithmetic are
approaches zero it concentrates on one point. Ambition, Distraction, Uglification,”
And then that becomes his point of view” And Deration”
David Hilbert Lewis Caroll

from its decisions there is no appeal" JOSHUA B. BARONTOY
