3 Jul , 2015  

There are, however, people in this world who seldom pick up a newspaper, people who, when watching television, sneer in displeasure and change channels at the first glimpse of an anchorperson.

3 Jul , 2015

19 Dec , 2011  

Thus, be it understood, to demonstrate a theorem, it is neither necessary nor even advantageous to know what it means….[A] machine might be imagined where the assumptions were put in at one end, while the theorems came out at the other, like the legendary Chicago machine where the pigs go in alive and come out […]
