Edward Kasner quotes and words of wisdom |  | "When the mathematician says that such and such a proposition is true
of one thing, it may be interesting, and it is surely safe. But when he
tries to extend his proposition to everything, though it is much more
interesting, it is also much more dangerous. In the transition from one to
all, from the specific to the general, mathematics has made its greatest
progress, and suffered its most serious setbacks, of which the logical
paradoxes constitute the most important part. For, if mathematics is to
advance securely and confidently, it must first set its affairs in order
at home." | |  | Found in the topic Unsorted.
