It May Be Appropriate To Quote A Statement Of Poincare, Who Said (partly In Jest No Doubt) That There Must Be Something Mysterious About The Normal Law Since Mathematicians Think It Is A Law Of Nature Whereas Physicists Are Convinced That It Is A Mathematical Theorem.

Mathematical Discoveries, Small Or Great Are Never Born Of Spontaneous Generation They Always Presuppose A Soil Seeded With Preliminary Knowledge And Well Prepared By Labour, Both Conscious And Subconscious.

One Does Not Ask Whether A Scientific Theory Is True, But Only Whether It Is Convenient.

Mathematicians Do Not Study Objects, But The Relations Between Objects.
