For the things of this world cannot be made known without a knowledge of mathematics. It is the perennial youthfulness of mathematics itself which marks it off with a disconcerting immortality from the other sciences. Mathematics is the door and the key to the sciences. Reasoning draws a conclusion, but does not make the conclusion certain, unless the mind discovers it by the path of experience. The strongest arguments prove nothing so long as the conclusions are not verified by experience. Experimental science is the queen of sciences and the goal of all speculation. |
