The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences

"the enormous usefulness of mathematics in the natural sciences is something bordering on the mysterious and that there is no rational explanation for it."


"he miracle of the appropriateness of the language of mathematics for the formulation of the laws of physics is a wonderful gift which we neither understand nor deserve. We should be grateful for it and hope that it will remain valid in future research and that it will extend, for better or for worse, to our pleasure, even though perhaps also to our bafflement, to wide branches of learning."

Eugene Wigner

This is the Truth!

"the truth does not reveal itself to idle spectators" M. Crawford

what a great quote.....when commitment, passionate concern and taking responsibility is on the line

recognising valuable information!

Saturated with information, it is becoming increasingly more difficult  first to come up with new ideas , second to recognise value in the data passing by.

In that context i found this quote published on architects website (RiceFergusMiller),  which says:

"An idea is the fundamental difference between experimentation and simply playing - it is the thing that differentiates the Laboratory from the Playground."

perfection

"A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away" 

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
