“The interaction between math and physics is a two-way process, with each of the two subjects drawing from and inspiring the other. At different times, one of them may take the lead in developing a particular idea, only to yield to the other subject as focus shifts. But altogether, the two interact in a virtuous circle of mutual influence.” WayMayTwoIdeasDifferentProcessFocusInfluenceSubjectsParticularMathDrawingPhysicsCirclesDevelopingMutualYieldInteractionVirtuousTwo WaysDifferent TimesLead In Author:Edward Frenkel

And if you have it from the South, keep the window screened with cloth, so that with the sun shining the whole day the light may not vary. The height of the light so arranged as that every object shall cast a shadow on the ground of the same length as itself.” IfsShouldMayWholeLightOrderSunObjectsShadowWindowShiningSouthCastsDrawingHeightLengthVary Book:The notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci Source: The notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci

“I believe that it may happen that one will succeed, and one must not begin to despair, even though defeated here and there; and even though one sometimes feels a kind of decay, though things go differently from the expected, it is necessary to take heart again and new courage. For the great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together. And great things are not something accidental, but must certainly be willed. What is drawing? How does one learn it? It is working through an invisible iron wall that seems to stand between what one feels and what one can do.” FeelsBelieveHeartKindMayDoeSometimesDoneSeemsHappensTogetherI BelieveCan DoWallSucceedDespairSeriesExpectedDrawingInvisibleGreat ThingsImpulseIronDecayDefeatedSmall ThingsHere And There Author:Vincent Van Gogh
