...physics of coordinate importance with those of geometry, namely, the phenomena of vibrating systems, of which the pendulum is a familiar example. The simplest type of oscillatory motion is governed by a differential equation of the second order, and two of the solutions of this equation are the functions sin x and cos x. By means of the differential equation the leading properties of these functions can be deduced with ease, and thus the foundations of trigonomemtry are laid...
...have said in this place before, we are told in the Bible that the Holy Spirit will convince the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgement, by which is meant one's own sin, and the righteousness and judgment of God; but we are too prone to think of someone else's sin, of one's own righteousness, and of judgement by popular vote...
