I’m ba-a-a-ack! (Math quotes of the week I)
[Rescued from my old blog.]
My computer and I seem to have come to a temporary truce: I pretend I’m never going to shut it off again, and it pretends it’s always going to come back if I do have to reboot. (Nope, no new computer in the offing at this point.

And what better—or at least, what easier—way to get back into blogging that with a good quote or two? So here are my…

Both aspects are as old as the science of mathematics itself.
