Quotation of the day
From William Spottiswoode
Conterminous with space and coeval with time is the kingdom of Mathematics; within this range her dominion is supreme; otherwise than according to her order nothing can exist, and nothing takes place in contradiction to her laws.
Presidential address to the British Association, Dublin 1878.
