Some sayings from George Polya

December 19, 2005

George Polya (1887-1985)

If there is a problem you can’t solve, then there is an easier problem you can solve: find it.

The First rule of discovery is to have brains and good luck. Thesecond rule is to sit tight and wait till you get a bright idea.

I thought I am not good enough for physics and I am too good for philosophy. Mathematics is in between.

My difficulty in understanding mathematics: How was it discovered?

Some sayings from the slides of Graph Theory

December 15, 2005

We mathematicians are all a bit crazy.
—Lev Davidovich Landau (Jan. 22, 1908 — Apr. 1, 1968)

All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.
— Galileo Galilei (1564 — 1642); Italian astronomer & physicist.

Mathematicians are like Frenchmen: whatever you say to them they translate into their own language and forthwith it is something entirely different.
— German writer, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over, if you just sit there.
— Will Rogers, actor, (1879-1935)

Science is what we understand well enough to explain to a computer. Art is everything else we do.
— D.E. Knuth (January 10,1938-)

The mathematical sciences particularly exhibit order, symmetry, and limitation; and these are the greatest forms of the beautiful.
— Aristotle (384-322 BC)

《纪念刘和珍君》

December 15, 2005

真的猛士,敢于直面惨淡的人生,敢于正视淋漓的鲜血。这是怎样的哀痛者和幸福者 ?然而造化又常常为庸人设计,以时间的流驶,来洗涤旧迹,仅使留下淡红的血色和微漠 的悲哀。在这淡红的血色和微漠的悲哀中,又给人暂得偷生,维持着这似人非人的世界。 我不知道这样的世界何时是一个尽头!

沉默呵,沉默呵!不在沉默中爆发,就在沉默中灭亡
