| The charm of mathematics lies chiefly in the absolute certainty of its results; for that is what, beyond all mental treasures, the human intellect craves. Let us be sure of something! More light! More light!
Lewis Carroll
(Lewis Carroll was the pseudonym of Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, 1832-98. Besides writing Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass, as a mathematician he made significant contributions to algebraic logic.) |
