Calculus Quotes - Page 6

• For remember that in general we don't use language according to strict rules-- it hasn't been taught to us by means of strict rules, either. We, in our discussions on the other hand, constantly compare language with a calculus preceding to exact rules.

• The teaching of the ten thousand states of mind, particularly as one advances further, is done through transmission. This is where we differ from teaching algebra or calculus.

• Imagine a life-form whose brainpower is to ours as ours is to a chimpanzee’s. To such a species, our highest mental achievements would be trivial. Their toddlers, instead of learning their ABCs on Sesame Street, would learn multivariable calculus on Boolean Boulevard. Our most complex theorems, our deepest philosophies, the cherished works of our most creative artists, would be projects their schoolkids bring home for Mom and Dad to display on the refrigerator door.

• A month's intelligent instruction in the theory of numbes ought to be twice as instructive, twice as useful, and at least 10 times as entertaining as the same amount of 'calculus for engineers'.

• Once a term like "open source" entered our vocabulary, one could recast the whole public policy calculus in very different terms, so that instead of discussing the public interest, we are discussing the interests of individual software developers, while claiming that this is a discussion about "innovation" and "progress," not "accountability" or "security."

• If it's cynical, risky politics that brings a lighted match and a can of gas near the Democratic coalition, it should be named as such, and its consequences understood, and it should become part of the complex calculus we're all building to help us understand these campaigns.

• Es cierto que hay muchos empleos en codificación informática, pero la codificación no requiere realmente matemáticas avanzadas. Y los trabajos de ingeniería, varían mucho en la cantidad de demanda que realmente necesitamos. Así que, ya sabes, el número de personas para las que la descripción del trabajo incluye el cálculo de Newton no es quizás tan alto.

• You'll remember Newton was furious at Leibniz, because he developed calculus at the same time. And he went to his death believing that he had copied him. And no, it's because all the elements were there, so it's almost inevitable that the next discovery - as long as people are free and allowed to experiment and try new things.

• It is clear that Economics, if it is to be a science at all, must be a mathematical science ... simply because it deals with quantities... As the complete theory of almost every other science involves the use of calculus, so we cannot have a true theory of Economics without its aid.

• El verdadero problema de hacer frente a la proliferación de armas de destrucción masiva: nucleares, químicas o biológicas es: ¿Cuál es tu tolerancia al riesgo? Y mi tolerancia al riesgo de proliferación de armas de destrucción masiva es bastante cercana a cero. Porque de lo contrario, nosotros y nuestros aliados estaremos a merced de regímenes como Ahmadineyad y los mulás de Teherán, o Kim Jong Il y la mentalidad de Hitler en el búnker de Pyongyang, u otros que no compartan nuestro cálculo sobre el valor de la vida humana.

• ...dissent, protest, presures of a wide variety that escape elite control can modify the calculus of costs of planners, and offer a slight hope that Washington can be compelled to permit at least some steps towards "justice, freedom and democracy" within its domains.

• The theory of probabilities is basically only common sense reduced to a calculus. It makes one estimate accurately what right-minded people feel by a sort of instinct, often without being able to give a reason for it.

• The emergent terrorist threats and the spread of nuclear technology and materials have made it much more likely that terrorists will get their hands on a nuclear weapon and that just changes the whole calculus. I love the quote by Rev. Richard Cizik: "If you've never changed your mind about anything, then pinch yourself, you might be dead." The world has changed and we need to start talking about this.

• No vivimos en una época en la que el conocimiento pueda extenderse por un camino llano y libre de obstáculos, como en la época del descubrimiento del cálculo infinitesimal, y en cierta medida también cuando en el desarrollo de la geometría proyectiva se eliminaron repentinamente los obstáculos que, habiendo impedido el progreso durante mucho tiempo, permitieron que un torrente de investigadores se vertiera sobre suelo virgen. Ya no es posible recorrer los caminos trillados, y en el bosque primitivo sólo pueden aventurarse aquellos que están equipados con las herramientas más afiladas.

• Some people prefer not to commingle the functional, lambda-calculus part of a language with the parts that do side effects. It seems they believe in the separation of Church and state.

• As professor in the Polytechnic School in Zürich I found myself for the first time obliged to lecture upon the elements of the differential calculus and felt more keenly than ever before the lack of a really scientific foundation for arithmetic.

• Ask yourself whether our language is complete--whether it was so before the symbolism of chemistry and the notation of the infinitesimal calculus were incorporated in it; for these are, so to speak, suburbs of our language. (And how many houses or streets does it take before a town begins to be a town?) Our language can be seen as an ancient city: a maze of little streets and squares, of old and new houses, and of houses with additions from various periods; and this surrounded by a multitude of new boroughs with straight regular streets and uniform houses.

  Ludwig Wittgenstein

• ...un gran triunfo de la imaginación matemática: el uso de imágenes visuales para condensar una gran cantidad de información en una sola imagen comprensible... Los matemáticos apenas están empezando a comprender estos componentes básicos del cambio y a analizar cómo se combinan. La metodología empleada tiene un espíritu muy distinto al de la modelización tradicional con ecuaciones diferenciales: se parece más a la química que al cálculo, y exige un cuidadoso contrapunto entre análisis y síntesis.

• You always, I think, debate with yourself about whether or not you made the right decision. And you have to then give the person that you’re working for - in my instance, the president - your best judgment based on your understanding of the facts, but also the calculus you use to make a determination about what’s the best way to go forward.
