Differential Calculus Quotes

• But how is one to make a scientist understand that there is something unalterably deranged about differential calculus, quantum theory, or the obscene and so inanely liturgical ordeals of the precession of the equinoxes.

• I'm very good at integral and differential calculus, I know the scientific names of beings animalculous; In short, in matters vegetable, animal, and mineral, I am the very model of a modern Major-General.

• Pero así como es fácil hallar la diferencial [derivada] de una cantidad dada, también es difícil hallar la integral de una diferencial dada. Es más, a veces no podemos decir con certeza si la integral de una cantidad dada se puede encontrar o no.

• La ciencia es el cálculo diferencial de la mente. El arte es el cálculo integral; pueden ser bellos por separado, pero sólo son más grandes cuando se combinan.

• Among all of the mathematical disciplines the theory of differential equations is the most important... It furnishes the explanation of all those elementary manifestations of nature which involve time.

• Therefore, I have attacted [the problem of the catenary] which I had hitherto not attempted, and with my key [the differential calculus] happily opened its secret.

• La aritmética comienza con los números enteros y procede ampliando sucesivamente el sistema numérico con números racionales y negativos, números irracionales, etc... Pero el siguiente paso bastante lógico después de los reales, a saber, la introducción de los infinitesimales, simplemente se ha omitido. Creo que en los siglos venideros se considerará una gran rareza en la historia de las matemáticas que la primera teoría exacta de los infinitesimales se desarrollara 300 años después de la invención del cálculo diferencial.

• Nothing has afforded me so convincing a proof of the unity of the Deity as these purely mental conceptions of numerical and mathematical science which have been by slow degrees vouchsafed to man, and are still granted in these latter times by the Differential Calculus, now superseded by the Higher Algebra, all of which must have existed in that sublimely omniscient Mind from eternity.

• 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.
