“We academic scientists move within a certain sphere, we can go on being useless up to a point, in the confidence that sooner or later some use will be found for our studies. The mathematician, of course, prides himself on being totally useless, but usually turns out to be the most useful of the lot. He finds the solution but he is not interested in what the problem is: sooner or later, someone will find the problem to which his solution is the answer.” UseProblemMovingScienceCertainTurnsCoursesFoundAnswersStudyPrideGoes OnSolutionsScientistUselessSpheresAcademicNot InterestedSooner Or LaterMathematician Author:John Desmond Bernal
