Favorite Quote:
"Philosophy is written in this grand book-I mean the universe-which stands continually open to our gaze,but it cannot be understood unless one first learn to comprehend the language and interpret the character in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics... without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it."
- Galileo Galilei(1564-1642)
