“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

“I may have had many projects, but I never was free to carry out any of them. It did me little good to be holding the helm; no matter how strong my hands, the sudden and numerous waves were stronger still, and I was wise enough to yield to them rather than resist them obstinately and make the ship founder. Thus I never was truly my own master but was always ruled by circumstances.” MayLittlesStillsMatterEnoughHandsStrongMy OwnWiseMastersCircumstancesProjectsArmyStrongerWaveShipsYieldFoundersHelm Author:Napoleon Bonaparte
“I, a pilgrim of eternity, stand before Thee, O eternal One. Let me not seek to deaden or destroy the desire for Thee that disturbs my heart. Let me rather yield myself to its constraint and go where it leads me.
