Quotes About Mathematical

a system of postulates, mathematical relationships, data, and inferences that form a basis for describing a scientific process or sequence of events. These models need to be tested against new observations to see how well they hold up. That's a big part of the scientific method.

Life has puffed and blown itself into a summer day, and clouds and spring billow over the heavens as if calendars were a listing of mathematical errors.

Our pleasures, which were those of being in love, were as simple and still as mysterious and complicated as a simple mathematical formula that can mean happiness of can mean the end of the world.

Our pleasures, which were those of being in love, were as simple and still as mysterious and complicated as a simple mathematical formula that can mean all happiness or can mean the end of the world.

I'm not really an epidemiologist, if that's what you mean. It's outside my area. I build mathematical models based on biological systems.

If someone was to tell you that the sum of all the numbers was minus one twelfth I suspect you might imagine the person was mildly crazy. Well, this is actually an established mathematical fact: the sum of all the numbers is minus one twelfth (or, in decimals, -0.083).

Some people are born with a brain that has this weird, magical mathematical thing that makes them an amazing jazz musician.

When I speak of the beauty of a game of chess, then naturally this is subjective. Beauty can be found in a very technical, mathematical game for example. That is the beauty of clarity.

String theory has had a long and wonderful history. It originated as a technique to try to understand the strong force. It was a calculational mechanism, a way of approaching a mathematical problem that was too difficult, and it was a promising way, but it was only a technique. It was a mathematical technique rather than a theory in itself.

We have failed to protect science against speculative extensions of nature, continuing to assign physical and mathematical properties to hypothetical entities beyond what is observable in nature.

Thus the robot is incapable of knowing that it was constructed according to the mechanisms M. Since we are aware-or at least can be made aware-that the robot was so constructed, this seems to tell us that we have access to mathematical truths, e.g. Omega (Q(M)), that are beyond the robot's capabilities, despite the fact that the robot's abilities are supposed to be equal of (or in excess of) human capabilities.

Another example of a class of well-defined mathematical problems that have no algorithmic solution is the tiling problem. This is formulated as follows: given a set of polygonal shapes, decide whether those shapes will tile the plane; that is, is it possible to cover the entire Euclidean plane using only these particular shapes, without gaps or overlaps?

Embracing the subjective interpretation quickly leads us to assertions that are patently absurd, underscoring the independence of mathematical knowledge of any human activity Just take me there...

Perhaps the most important point made in this context is the distinction between two kinds of the art of measurement: one kind which considers the greater and less in relation to one another, and another kind which considers the greater and less (now understood as excess and defect) in relation to the mean or, say, the fitting, or something similar. All arts, and especially the kingly art, make their measurements with a view to the right mean or the fitting, i.e., they are not mathematical.

Cardano worked at a time when mystical incantation was more valued than mathematical calculation.

In the end, though he learned how to run an observatory, he fell in love with a different pursuit, the idea of applying the mathematical tools of astronomy to social data.

at a time when mystical incantation was more valued than mathematical calculation.

The formulation of the problem is often more essential than its solution, which may be merely a matter of mathematical or experimental skill.

Yes, we have to divide up our time like that, between our politics and our equations. But to me our equations are far more important, for politics are only a matter of present concern. A mathematical equation stands forever.

The importance of C.F. Gauss for the development of modern physical theory and especially for the mathematical fundament of the theory of relativity is overwhelming indeed; also his achievement of the system of absolute measurement in the field of electromagnetism. In my opinion it is impossible to achieve a coherent objective picture of the world on the basis of concepts which are taken more or less from inner psychological experience.

Algoritmo: Un algoritmo es un patrón, una estructura, una forma matemática o cualquier otro proceso capaz de contener grandes cantidades de información en una forma reducida y concentrada. Un buen ejemplo de un algoritmo es la estructura del ADN capaz de contener toda la información que concentra su estructura. En el caso del ADN, su decodificación da lugar a un cuerpo.

The Electoral College was a concession to slave owners, an affair of both mathematical and political calculation.

A mathematical formula for happiness:Reality divided by Expectations.There were two ways to be happy:improve your reality or lower your expectations.

The orthodox believers in God are divided into two camps, one of which maintains that the existence of God is as demonstrable as any mathematical proposition, while the other asserts that his existence is not demonstrable to the intellect.
