- This reminds me that the Germans have an admiration for someone with sitzfleisch, the ability to sit down and work through a time consuming task or problem.
- Learning grade school math isn't so much about the mathematics as learning that some things can take more than 30 seconds to solve.
- Heaviside was an example of an outsider making serious contributions in science and mathematics. He had no formal training when he published seminal work on electromagnetic theory in a popular telegraphy magazine. He was following in Euler's fine tradition of ignoring the rigorous niceties. .
