George Boole Henry Smith Poul Heegaard

A quotation for today

George Boole (1815 - 1864)

Of the many forms of false culture, a premature converse with abstractions is perhaps the most likely to prove fatal to the growth of a masculine vigour of intellect.

Preface to A treatise on differential equations (1859)

Another quotation by one of today's mathematicians
