• Favorite Quotes (with thanks to the Mathematics Quotation Server)
  • Think deeply of simple things. Arnold Ross Program motto.
  • The art of doing mathematics consists in finding that special case which contains all the germs of generality. David Hilbert.
  • It has been observed that in every human activity experience comes first, and as this experience grows the need for communication motivates development of language. Sadly enough, in our classroom practice we place language first and experience second. We worry about what we should say to help the student "understand". By this we mean to provide the effect of experience through the use of suitably chosen words. Not unexpectedly, the effect is at best only a very pale image of the real thing. Arnold Ross, AMS Notices, October 1999.
