توضیحات
A hundred or so maths aphorisms, lovingly collected by the author of Basic Maths For Dummies and many other maths books. Colin Beveridge gives a (very) brief bio of each mathematician quoted, as well as an interpretation of the bon mot wherever it's needed.
Mathematicians say the darndest things
In this book, you'll discover
* What's the difference between art and science? (Knuth)
* What are the weapons of the mathematician? (Bourbaki)
* What is more important than partial differential equations? (Ulam)
* How often million-to-one shots come up? (Pratchett)
* What's the meaning of life? (Rubik)
* Why did Cathleen Morawetz became a mathematician?
And, of course, plenty more mathematical quotations to inspire, amuse and entertain you.
