“ It is just as foolish to complain that people are
selfish and treacherous as it is to complain that the
magnetic field does not increase unless the electric
field has a curl. Both are laws of nature”
by John von Neumann

“It is India that gave us the ingenious method of


expressing all numbers by means of ten symbols,
each symbol receiving a value of position as well as
an absolute value; a profound and important idea
which appears so simple to us now that we ignore
its true merit. But its very simplicity and the great
ease which it has lent to computations put our
arithmetic in the first rank of useful inventions; and
we shall appreciate the grandeur of the
achievement the more when we remember that it
escaped the genius of Archimedes and Apollonius,
two of the greatest men produced by antiquity.”
by Pierre Simon Laplace

Quotations by Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier —-

“The integrals which we have obtained are not only general expressions which
satisfy the differential equation, they represent in the most distinct manner the
natural effect which is the object of the phenomenon... when this condition is
fulfilled, the integral is, properly speaking, the equation of the phenomenon; it
expresses clearly the character and progress of it, in the same manner as the
finite equation of a line or curved surface makes known all the properties of
those forms.”

“Primary causes are unknown to us; but are subject to
simple and constant laws, which may be discovered by
observation, the study of them being the object of natural
philosophy. Heat, like gravity, penetrates every substance
of the universe, its rays occupy all parts of space. The
object of our work is to set forth the mathematical laws
which this element obeys. The theory of heat will
hereafter form one of the most important branches of
general physics.”
