“A mathematician of the first rank, Laplace quickly revealed himself as only a mediocre administrator; from his first work we saw that we had been deceived. Laplace saw no question from its true point of view; he sought subtleties everywhere; had only doubtful ideas, and finally carried the spirit of the infinitely small into administration.” FirstsIdeasSpiritWorkViewsSawsMathematicsMathPoint Of ViewAdministrationMathematicalMediocrityMathematicianMediocreDeceivedDoubtfulSubtletyAdministrators Author:Napoleon Bonaparte
“One of my first experiences with the space program was with the memorial that was built for the Challenger. When I was in 7th grade my entire class spent the entire school year preparing to launch a spaceship all together. We all had our different jobs that we had to learn how to do, we learned the math that you needed, we learned the practical skills that you needed, and I thought that was really cool. So I think that if you can take a tragedy and find the gold in it and turn it into something positive, that's great.” IfsThinkingYearsFirstsDifferentSchoolTogetherJobsTurnsSpaceClassNeededSkillsBuiltProgramGoldTragedyMathPracticalsGradesPreparingMemorialReally CoolSpaceshipsDifferent JobsSpace ProgramSchool YearsPractical Skills Author:Jonathan Nolan
