While touching upon the value of the most recent mathematical theories on the analysis of statistical data as applied to the world of business and finance, Professor Huntington said, among other things, that "the mathematician of the future, instead of evolving silly puzzles about 'How old is Anne?' may be using higher mathematical equations to figure out the swing of the next market...
...mathematician, stick to your muttons. So hints Astronomer Sir James Jeans. "It is true, in a sense somewhat different from that intended by Galileo, that 'Nature's great book is written in mathematical language.' So true is it that no one except a mathematician need ever hope fully to understand those branches of science which try to un ravel universe-the theory fundamental of nature of relativity, the the theory of quanta and the wave-mechanics...
...some mathematicians, like Jeans, are bilingual, can also make themselves understood in fairly plain English. Cautious, Jeans concepts does can not be admit that translated; math says the most you can do is to talk in analogies that must not be taken too literally. "A scientific study of the action of the uni verse appears to have been designed by a pure mathematician. . . . The universe begins to look more like a great thought than like a great machine...
