It Is The Invaluable Merit Of The Great Basle Mathematician Leonard Euler, To Have Freed The Analytical Calculus From All Geometric Bounds, And Thus To Have Established Analysis As An Independent Science, Which From His Time On Has Maintained An Unchallenged Leadership In The Field Of Mathematics.

I Sit In My Loft With The Haves And Look Out At The Have-nots - The Bottom Of The Bottom - And I Have To Rationalize It, ... Am I Pushing Out The Homeless?

The Rules Of Navigation Never Navigated A Ship. The Rules Of Architecture Never Built A House.

We Find Sects And Parties In Most Branches Of Science; And Disputes Which Are Carried On From Age To Age, Without Being Brought To An Issue. Sophistry Has Been More Effectually Excluded From Mathematics And Natural Philosophy Than From Other Sciences. In Mathematics It Had No Place From The Beginning; Mathematicians Having Had The Wisdom To Define Accurately The Terms They Use, And To Lay Down, As Axioms, The First Principles On Which Their Reasoning Is Grounded. Accordingly, We Find No Parties Among Mathematicians, And Hardly Any Disputes.
