“I do not think the division of the subject into two parts - into applied mathematics and experimental physics a good one, for natural philosophy without experiment is merely mathematical exercise, while experiment without mathematics will neither sufficiently discipline the mind or sufficiently extend our knowledge in a subject like physics.” ThinkingMindTwoPhilosophyScienceNaturalSubjectsDisciplineExerciseMathematicsPhysicsExperimentsMathematicalDivisionNatural PhilosophyApplied Mathematics Author:Balfour Stewart
“Also, it's not the mathematical skill that's critical to winning, it's the discipline of being able to stick to the system. There are very few people who can withstand the losses emotionally and still stick with the system. Probably only one in five hundred people has the necessary discipline to be successful.” PeopleStillsAbleWinningLossSuccessfulFiveDisciplineSkillsHundredSticksCriticalMathematicalBeing Successful Author:Blair Hull
