James Newman quotes about
common deliberate dignity diplomatic economics economy-and-economics either french mathematics places purpose rumors social
There have even been rumors that mathematics is used in economics (and in other social sciences) either for the deliberate purpose of mystification or to confer dignity upon common places as French was once used in diplomatic communications.
accurate branch branches clearly concepts defined desirable discourse economy-and-economics extended including mathematics permit provided saying symbolic talking
To be sure, mathematics can be extended to any branch of knowledge, including economics, provided the concepts are so clearly defined as to permit accurate symbolic representation. That is only another way of saying that in some branches of discourse it is desirable to know what you are talking about.

concerned county
I'm concerned about the county; I'm concerned about the costs. I don't see what the county does for us personally.

attributes defined fathom few hard perceive prescribed pressed properties strange
It is strange that we know so little about the properties of numbers. They are our handiwork, yet they baffle us; we can fathom only a few of their intricacies. Having defined their attributes and prescribed their behavior, we are hard pressed to perceive the implications of our formulas.
There it goes! You can see it in the sun,
discourse hard realm
It is hard to know what you are talking about in mathematics, yet no one questions the validity of what you say. There is no other realm of discourse half so queer.
american-astronaut apart existence notion overcome strange truths
We have overcome the notion that mathematical truths have an existence independent and apart from our own minds. It is even strange to us that such a notion could ever have existed.
american-astronaut mathematics unless unruly
The infinite in mathematics is alway unruly unless it is properly treated.
achievement discovery dramatic exact existence left member neptune observers pencil planet pointing routine solar space spot task telescopes
The discovery in 1846 of the planet Neptune was a dramatic and spectacular achievement of mathematical astronomy. The very existence of this new member of the solar system, and its exact location, were demonstrated with pencil and paper; there was left to observers only the routine task of pointing their telescopes at the spot the mathematicians had marked.
