Queens Thinking Mathematics

More From G. Stanley Hall

The left believes that we're an unwarranted, undeserving superpower because we're a racist, bigoted nation from our founding. so obama presides over america's decline and tells everybody "get used to it. this is the new norm." the new norm is no full-time jobs. the new norm is government getting bigger. the new norm is you having no wage increases for 15 years. this is what the new norm is, as we entered the global marketplace. and the american people don't want any part of that. that's not america.

Mathematics is the queen of sciences and number theory is the queen of mathematics. she often condescends to render service to astronomy and other natural sciences, but in all relations she is entitled to the first rank.

But there is another reason for the high repute of mathematics: it is mathematics that offers the exact natural sciences a certain measure of security which, without mathematics, they could not attain.
Math Reason Natural
...mathematics is distinguished from all other sciences except only ethics, in standing in no need of ethics. every other science, even logic, especially in its early stages, is in danger of evaporating into airy nothingness, degenerating, as the germans say, into an arachnoid film, spun from the stuff that dreams are made of. there is no such danger for pure mathematics; for that is precisely what mathematics ought to be.

I am sorry to have to introduce the subject of christmas. it is an indecent subject; a cruel, gluttonous subject; a drunken, disorderly subject; a wasteful, disastrous subject; a wicked, cadging, lying, filthy, blasphemous and demoralizing subject. christmas is forced on a reluctant and disgusted nation by the shopkeepers and the press: on its own merits it would wither and shrivel in the fiery breath of universal hatred; and anyone who looked back to it would be turned into a pillar of greasy sausages.
Sorry Lying Hatred
Srinivasa ramanujan was the strangest man in all of mathematics, probably in the entire history of science. he has been compared to a bursting supernova, illuminating the darkest, most profound corners of mathematics, before being tragically struck down by tuberculosis at the age of 33, like riemann before him. working in total isolation from the main currents of his field, he was able to rederive 100 years' worth of western mathematics on his own. the tragedy of his life is that much of his work was wasted rediscovering known mathematics.
