| | | "Perhaps the most surprising thing about mathematics is that it is so
surprising. The rules which we make up at the beginning seem ordinary and
inevitable, but it is impossible to foresee their consequences. These have
only been found out by long study, extending over many centuries. Much of
our knowledge is due to a comparatively few great mathematicians such as
Newton, Euler, Gauss, or Riemann; few careers can have been more
satisfying than theirs. They have contributed something to human thought
even more lasting than great literature, since it is independent of
language." | | | Found in the topic Mathematics.
