"For those who
do not know mathematics, it is difficult to feel the beauty, the profound
beauty of nature. If you want to learn about nature, appreciate nature, it is
necessary to learn the language in which she speaks "(Richard
Feynman, Manhattan, May 11, 1918-Los Angeles, February 15, 1988: American
theoretical physicist known for his work in quantum mechanics, the theory of
quantum electrodynamics, in 1965 he received the Nobel Prize in Physics In a
1999 survey of the journal Physics World, Feynman was considered one of the ten
greatest physicists of all time).
"The pure
mathematician, in the same way as the musician, is a free creator in his world
of ordered beauty" (Bertrand Arthur William Russell, was a philosopher,
