“Complete knowledge of the nature of an analytic function must also include insight into its behavior for imaginary values of the arguments. Often the latter is indispensable even for a proper appreciation of the behavior of the function for real arguments. It is therefore essential that the original determination of the function concept be broadened to a domain of magnitudes which includes both the real and the imaginary quantities, on an equal footing, under the single designation complex numbers.” RealValuesNumbersEqualEssentialsBehaviorConceptsDeterminationArgumentLogicFunctionOriginalsComplexesAppreciationInsightCertaintyUncertaintyReasoningLatterQuantityImaginaryIndispensableDomainMagnitudeOntologyAnalyticsDesignationComplex Numbers Author:Carl Friedrich Gauss

“America is not the crude stereotype of a self-interested empire. The United States has been one of the greatest sources of progress that the world has ever known. We were born out of revolution against an empire. We were founded upon the ideal that all are created equal.

Drawn from every end of the Earth, and dedicated to a simple concept, E pluribus unum: Out of many, one.” WorldGivingHas BeensEndsSelfStatesEarthAmericaCultureBornSimpleUnitedKnownUnited StatesProgressBloodCenturySourceRevolutionEqualConceptsIdealsAround The WorldBordersEmpiresDedicatedShedStereotypeCrude Author:Barack Obama

“Every word instantly becomes a concept precisely insofar as it is not supposed to serve as a reminder of the unique and entirely individual original experience to which it owes its origin; but rather, a word becomes a concept insofar as it simultaneously has to fit countless more or less similar cases -- which means, purely and simply, cases which are never equal and thus altogether unequal.” MeanIndividualCasesFitEqualUniqueConceptsOriginalsReminders Book:Nietzsche Selections Source: Nietzsche Selections
“The new concept of the child as equal and the new integration of children into adult life has helped bring about a gradual but certain erosion of these boundaries that once separated the world of children from the word of adults, boundaries that allowed adults to treat children differently than they treated other adults because they understood that children are different.” WorldChildrenDifferentCertainEqualUnderstoodConceptsAdultsTreatsBoundariesTreatedIntegrationErosion Author:Marie Winn

“In a matrilineal society, a woman has basic rights that no one has to grant her but you can't take it away from her because the society is based on the concept that the lifegiver is equal to those she gave the life to.
