Science Quotes by Eric W. Weisstein (1 quote)
Mathematics is a broad-ranging field of study in which the properties and interactions of idealized objects are examined
— Eric W. Weisstein
In CRC Concise Encyclopedia of Mathematics (1998, 2nd ed. 2002 ), 1862.
In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they would actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion.
(1987) --
