| "How can you shorten the subject? That stern struggle with the
multiplication table, for many people not yet ended in victory, how can
you make it less? Square root, as obdurate as a hardwood stump in a
pasturenothing but years of effort can extract it. You can"t hurry the
process. Or pass from arithmetic to algebra; you can"t shoulder your way
past quadratic equations or ripple through the binomial theorem. Instead,
the other way; your feet are impeded in the tangled growth, your pace
slackens, you sink and fall somewhere near the binomial theorem with the
calculus in sight on the horizon. So died, for each of us, still bravely
fighting, our mathematical training; except for a set of people called
"mathematicians" -- born so, like crooks." | |
