Back to MQS Home Page Forward to "B" Quotations
Abel, Niels H. (1802 - 1829)
If you disregard the very simplest cases, there is in all of mathematics not a single infinite series whose sum has been rigorously determined. In other words,the most important parts of mathematics stand without a foundation.
In G. F. Simmons, Calculus Gems , New York: Mcgraw Hill, Inc., 1992, p. 188. [A reply to a question about how he got his expertise:]
By studying the masters and not their pupils. [About Gauss' mathematical writing style]
He is like the fox, who effaces his tracks in the sand with his tail.
In G. F. Simmons, Calculus Gems , New York: Mcgraw Hill, Inc., 1992, p. 177.
Adams, Douglas (1952 - 2001)
Bistromathics itself is simply a revolutionary new way of understanding the behavior of numbers. Just as Einstein observed that space was not an absolute but depended on the observer's movement in space, and that time was not an absolute, but depended on the observer's movement in time, so it is now realized that numbers are not absolute, but depend on the observer's movement in restaurants.
The first nonabsolute number is the number of people for whom the table is reserved. This will vary during the course of the first three telephone calls to the restaurant, and then bear no apparent relation to the number of people who actually turn up, or to the number of people who subsequently join them after the show/match/party/gig, or to the number of people who leave when they see who else has turned up.

    Quotations by Thomas Hobbes
    There is more in Mersenne than in all the universities together.
    Quoted in G Simmons Calculus Gems (New York 1992). To understand this for sense it is not required that a man should be a geometrician or a logician, but that he should be mad.
    ["This" is that the volume generated by revolving the region under 1/x from 1 to infinity has finite volume.]
    Quoted in N Rose Mathematical Maxims and Minims (Raleigh N C 1988). The errors of definitions multiply themselves according as the reckoning proceeds; and lead men into absurdities, which at last they see but cannot avoid, without reckoning anew from the beginning.
    Quoted in J R Newman, The World of Mathematics (New York 1956). A quotation about Thomas Hobbes by John Aubrey (1626-1697)
    He was 40 years old before he looked on geometry; which happened accidentally. Being in a gentleman's library, Euclid's Elements lay open, and "twas the 47 El. libri I" [Pythagoras' Theorem]. He read the proposition . "By God", sayd he, "this is impossible:" So he reads the demonstration of it, which referred him back to such a proposition; which proposition he read. That referred him back to another, which he also read. Et sic deinceps , that at last he was demonstratively convinced of that trueth. This made him in love with geometry.

    Anecdotes About Anecdotes
    Book Review
    Philip J. Davis Mathematical Apocrypha
    Steven G. Krantz
    Mathematical Association of America, Washington, DC, 2002, 214 pages (with an outstanding collection of photos, including one of Sonya Kowa-levskaya dressed for a party in a cat costume) "I love anecdotes . . . [but] if a man is to wait till he weaves anecdotes into a system, we may be long in getting them, and get but few, in comparison of what we might get."
    -Samuel Johnson, in Boswell's A Tour of the Hebrides Dr. Johnson loved anecdotes. Steven Krantz, a professor of mathematics at Washington University in St. Louis, loves anecdotes. Everyone loves anecdotes. Anecdotes are multi-purpose. They can serve as an antidote for a dull rainy afternoon when theorematic inspiration seems remote, or for a dull stuffy evening when the TV is saturated with stupid reruns. Anecdotes can spice up a classroom lecture or a dreary sermon. They can be garnered at International Congresses or used there for purposes of name-dropping. They can be picked up in otherwise mind-numbing biographies of mathematicians. They can, in the words of Constance Reid, in her preface to the book under review, "encapsulate a mathematician's character or personality with all the economy of a formula." At the same time, they can serve to encapsulate character falsely; such was the case with George Washington and the cherry tree. They can reduce a character to dust and ashes. I suppose the three most famous anecdotes about mathematicians would include the story of how Pythagoras (c. 550 BC) sacrificed an ox after he discovered that the square root of 2 is irrational. A second would be Archimedes yelling "Eureka" in the public bath. And a third would be Newton and his apple.

    http://www.davetrowbridge.com/MT/archives/000563.html
    Main September 06, 2002 A Cheerful Casaubon From time to time I'm going to be posting excerpts from Aubrey's Brief Lives , a set of charming biographies generally more talked about than read, at least until the republication of Oliver Lawson Dick's 1957 version by Nonpareil Books. As background for these posts, here are the opening paragraphs to Dick's life of John Aubrey (1626-1697). Not long after John Aubrey's death, a wise man warned us against treating books like members of the nobility: that is, against learning their titles and bragging afterwards of acquaintance with them. Yet this has been peculiarly Aubrey's fate; for his reputation is founded almost entirely upon hearsay and the piecemeal quotation of his work by other writers. The reason for the extraordinary neglect of this man of genius is not hard to find and the fault, it must be admitted, is entirely his own. For Aubrey's love of life was no intense, his curiosity so promiscuous and insatiable, that he proved quite incapable of completing any work he undertook. Each one was started in a most businesslike and practical fashion, but before long the original plan was always buried beneath the flood of digressions and notes, of horoscopes, letter and stories, which his restless mind seemed powerless to control. Having decided to write a life, Aubrey selected a page in one of his notebooks and jotted down as quickly as possible everything the he could remember about the character concerned: his friends, his appearance, his actions, his books and his sayings. Any facts or dates that did not occur to him on the spur of the moment were left blank, and as Aubrey was so extremely sociable that he was usually suffering from a hangover when he came to put pen to paper, the number of these omissions was often very large. In the first flush of composition, too, his mind raced so far beyond his pen that he frequently resorted to a sort of involved shorthand and made use of signs instead of words.

    Overview of the life of Francis Bacon Rawley's Life of Bacon William Rawley(1588-1667) became Bacon's domestic chaplain and secretary shortly after the latter was made Lord Keeper. After Bacon's death Rawley edited a number of his works and became the (self-appointed) guardian of Bacon's legacy. His life of Bacon was published in 1657 alongside a collection of Bacon's English works in the Resuscitatio Aubrey's Description of Verulam and Gorhambury The antiquary John Aubrey (1626-1697) visited Verulam and Gorhambury in 1656 and provided the fullest account we have of the house on which Bacon lavished great attention. Ben Jonson, 'Lord Bacon's Birthday' Ben Jonson wrote this ode in 1621, to celebrate the sixieth birthday of the Lord Chancellor. A lavish banquet was held on the occasion at York House, which was leased by the Archbishop of York to the incumbent Lord Keeper. As Jonson mentions in the poem, Bacon was born in the house, during his father's tenure as Lord Keeper. Aubrey's Account of the Death of Bacon The first printed account of Bacon's death, by Pierre Amboise (1631) described him as staying out of doors too long while conducting experiments into the effects of cold. The celebrated account given by Aubrey, on the authority of Thomas Hobbes, is far more picturesque. Bacon's Letter to the Earl of Arundel This letter written by Bacon to Thomas Howard, earl of Arundel, to explain his presence in the earl's house where he had been taken after being taken ill on a journey lends some credence to Aubrey's account. It was printed by Tobie Matthew in his

Wieder andere verspüren diese Liebe in so überreichem Maße, dass sie nicht bei der bloßen Bewunderung verharren, sondern versuchen, sie in neuen Formen auszudrücken. Diese Schöpfung von Schönheit nennt man Kunst. ( Ralph Waldo Emerson) Unter der Rubrik WER? finden Sie etwas über die Geschichte und die Erbauer von Stonehenge.

Zaintrygowany poleci³ przeprowadzenie badañ tego obiektu swojemu nadwornemu architektowi Ingo Jones'owi (1573 - 1652). Jones, od 1615 inspektor budowli królewskich, by³ projektantem m.in. Queen's House w Greenwich i Banqueting House w Whitehall w Londynie.

    Collecting Antique Maps
    A Brief Introduction
    Geographia . From that time printed maps vividly reflect the history of the great discoveries and voyages of exploration, from Columbus to Drake and Cook to Livingstone, and the advancement in geographical knowledge, from the discovery of America to that of the source of the Nile. All known areas of the world were mapped to a greater or lesser degree depending on current knowledge and subsequently with a varying standard of accuracy. Many early mapmakers were reluctant to leave gaps where information was not known, preferring to insert supposed coastlines (many erroneous), fanciful creatures, comments or simply decorative embellishments. However, it is just this romanticism which creates the appeal and fascination that caused Jonathan Swift (1667-1745) to comment: " So geographers in Afric-maps,
    With savage pictures fill their gaps;
    Place elephants for want of towns." Collecting maps is not a new pastime, but is still relatively unplumbed. From the sixteenth century maps and atlases were an essential component of any fine library. Dr. John Dee (1527-1608 Geographer to Queen Elizabeth I) noted: "some to beautify their halls, parlours and chambers ... liketh, loveth, getteth, and useth maps, charts and geographical globes". During the following century the famous diarist John Aubrey (1626-1697) remarked on the interest of collectors who "loveth to visit booksellers shops there to lye gaping on maps".
