Mathematical Science Is In My

I Have Tried To Avoid Long Numerical Computations, Thereby Following Riemann's Postulate That Proofs Should Be Given Through Ideas And Not Voluminous Computations.

However Unapproachable These Problems May Seem To Us And However Helpless We Stand Before Them, We Have, Nevertheless, The Firm Conviction That Their Solution Must Follow By A Finite Number Of Purely Logical Processes.

Mathematical Science Is In My Opinion An Indivisible Whole, An Organism Whose Vitality Is Conditioned Upon The Connection Of Its Parts.

An Old French Mathematician Said: "a Mathematical Theory Is Not To Be Considered Complete Until You Have Made It So Clear That You Can Explain It To The First Man Whom You Meet On The Street." This Clearness And Ease Of Comprehension, Here Insisted On For A Mathematical Theory, I Should Still More Demand For A Mathematical Problem If It Is To Be Perfect; For What Is Clear And Easily Comprehended Attracts, The Complicated Repels Us.

As Long As A Branch Of Science Offers An Abundance Of Problems, So Long It Is Alive; A Lack Of Problems Foreshadows Extinction Or The Cessation Of Independent Development.
