Zitat des Tages über Geometrie / Geometry:
The ballet makes us look at those bodies, it makes us listen to that music, it makes us wonder at the geometry, of the way they come together. The way that extraordinary space is controlled and given such emotional force.
Projective geometry is all geometry.
Music is the arithmetic of sounds as optics is the geometry of light.
A geometry implies the heterogeneity of locus, namely that there is a locus of the Other. Regarding this locus of the Other, of one sex as Other, as absolute Other, what does the most recent development in topology allow us to posit?
A multitude of bees can tell the time of day, calculate the geometry of the sun's position, argue about the best location for the next swarm. Bees do a lot of close observing of other bees; maybe they know what follows stinging and do it anyway.
One of the great sources of employment for people with Ph.D.s in geometry is the animation industry.
And since geometry is the right foundation of all painting, I have decided to teach its rudiments and principles to all youngsters eager for art.
Fractal geometry is everywhere, even in lines drawn in the sand. It's the cycle of life... You see fractals in plants, in flowers. Within the human lung are branches within branches.
Now being in such grace and favor by reason I learned him some points of geometry and understanding of the art of mathematics with other things, I pleased him so that what I said he would not contrary.
Everything one invents is true, you may be perfectly sure of that. Poetry is as precise as geometry.
I find purer philosophy in a Poem than in a Conclusion of Geometry, a chemical analysis, or a physical law.
The detailed geometry of the coenzyme molecule as a whole is fascinating in its complexity.
Human knowledge is dark and uncertain; philosophy is dark, astrology is dark, and geometry is dark.
Geometry is not true, it is advantageous.
Relying on the face might be human nature - even babies prefer to look at attractive people. But, of course, judging someone based on the geometry of his features is, from a moral and legal standpoint, no better than judging him based on the color of his skin.
Not that the propositions of geometry are only approximately true, but that they remain absolutely true in regard to that Euclidean space which has been so long regarded as being the physical space of our experience.
Arithmetic! Algebra! Geometry! Grandiose trinity! Luminous triangle! Whoever has not known you is without sense!
I am coming more and more to the conviction that the necessity of our geometry cannot be demonstrated, at least neither by, nor for, the human intellect.
The two elements the traveler first captures in the big city are extra human architecture and furious rhythm. Geometry and anguish.
All one's inventions are true, you can be sure of that. Poetry is as exact a science as geometry.
It is hard to convince a high-school student that he will encounter a lot of problems more difficult than those of algebra and geometry.
Crystals grew inside rock like arithmetic flowers. They lengthened and spread, added plane to plane in an awed and perfect obedience to an absolute geometry that even stones - maybe only the stones - understood.
We learned to put discipline in the haircuts by using actual geometry, actual architectural shapes and bone structure. The cut had to be perfect and layered beautifully, so that when a woman shook it, it just fell back in.
I just toured around looking for fractals, and when I found something that had a scaling geometry, I would ask the folks what was going on - why they had made it that way.
People were going to geometry class and I was swimming through vats of chili on 'Even Stevens.' It was like a dream!
I'd been doing projects outdoors for the public. I made pigeons eat geometry by putting bread out in rhomboids and triangles. I don't know if this activity made sense, but the work was available.
In terms of individuals who actually inspired me, very few of the academic people that I had access to had that power over me. Maybe it's simply because I wasn't that committed to geometry.
This is the first real evidence that we've seen now of high gravitational field strengths: monstrous things like stars moving at the velocity of light, smashing into each other, and making the geometry of space-time turn into some sort of washing machine.
There is still a difference between something and nothing, but it is purely geometrical and there is nothing behind the geometry.
One geometry cannot be more true than another; it can only be more convenient. Geometry is not true, it is advantageous.
I believe that all centers that appear in space - whether they originate in biology, in physical forces, in pure geometry, in color - are alike simply in that they all animate space. It is this animated space that has its functional effect upon the world, that determines the way things work, that governs the presence of harmony and life.
Poetry is as precise a thing as geometry.
I can't stop biting my nails. It's a bad habit of mine. I like anything to do with math and numbers. I know a lot of people don't like geometry, but for me it's fun.
Life isn't about algebra and geometry. Learning by making mistakes and not duplicating them is what life is about.
I think I still like science and art better, but geometry is a big improvement over algebra.
I've learned that I've just barely scratched the surface of knowledge of the profession, and I have deep envy of and appreciation for filmmakers who really, truly understand the physics, the design of filmmaking. They can do story and color and composition and geometry and math and science all at once.
