"This work contains almost 3,000 quotations, arranged under 38 chapters and 389 subsections, that present quotations over a spectrum stretching to infinity. A few of the many areas covered: the God hypothesis, historical origins, linguistics, the arts, mathematicians themselves, logic, real and idealized space, number theory, algebra, computers, probability theory, and statistics. Immensely useful for speeches, papers, and presentations - and entertaining for browsing. Fully indexed by author and keyword."--BOOK JACKET.
