Differential Quotes

In my free time I do differential and integral calculus Picture Quote #1

All life evolves by the differential survival of replicating entities Picture Quote #1

Science is a differential equation. Religion is a boundary condition Picture Quote #1

Given the historical power differential between blacks and whites, blacks are required to be attentive to the way their white counterparts see themselves in relation to people of color if they want to survive and even thrive Picture Quote #1

The great paradox of the civil rights revolution is that instead of enforcing and expanding equality before the law, the revolution created differential rights based on race, gender and, any day now, sexual orientation. The great liberal revolution, centuries in the making, that brought forth equality in law has been overthrown. In its place we see rising a new feudal legal order of status-based rights Picture Quote #1

Democracy turns upon and devours itself. Universal suffrage, in theory the palladium of our liberties, becomes the assurance of our slavery. And that slavery will grow more and more abject and ignoble as the differential birth rate, the deliberate encouragement of mendicancy and the failure of popular education produce a larger and larger mass of prehensile half-wits, and so make the demagogues more and more secure Picture Quote #1

I became an atheist because, as a graduate student studying quantum physics, life seemed to be reducible to second-order differential equations. Mathematics, chemistry and physics had it all. And I didn’t see any need to go beyond that Picture Quote #1

I thought of computers as very low class. I thought of myself as a pure mathematician and was interested in partial differential equations and topology and things like that Picture Quote #1

As Darwin himself was at pains to point out, natural selection is all about differential survival within species, not between them Picture Quote #1

Nothing has afforded me so convincing a proof of the unity of the Deity as these purely mental conceptions of numerical and mathematical science which have been by slow degrees vouchsafed to man, and are still granted in these latter times by the Differential Calculus, now superseded by the Higher Algebra, all of which must have existed in that sublimely omniscient Mind from eternity Picture Quote #1

Therefore, I have attacted [the problem of the catenary] which I had hitherto not attempted, and with my key [the differential calculus] happily opened its secret. Acta eruditorum Picture Quote #1

Love can reach the same level of talent, and even genius, as the discovery of differential calculus Picture Quote #1

Man’s destiny is to know, if only because societies with knowledge culturally dominate societies that lack it. Luddites and anti-intellectuals do not master the differential equations of thermodynamics or the biochemical cures of illness. They stay in thatched huts and die young Picture Quote #1

Do you know, the Devil confided, not even the best mathematicians on other planets - all far ahead of yours - have solved it? Why, there is a chap on Saturn - he looks something like a mushroom on stilts - who solves partial differential equations mentally; and even he’s given up Picture Quote #1

How did Biot arrive at the partial differential equation? [the heat conduction equation] . . . Perhaps Laplace gave Biot the equation and left him to sink or swim for a few years in trying to derive it. That would have been merely an instance of the way great mathematicians since the very beginnings of mathematical research have effortlessly maintained their superiority over ordinary mortals Picture Quote #1

...a major triumph of mathematical imagination: the use of visual imagery to condense a large quantity of information into a single comprehensible picture... Mathematicians are just beginning to understand these basic building blocks of change and to analyze how they combine. The methodology involved has a very different spirit from traditional modeling with differential equations: it is more like chemistry than calculus, requiring careful counterpoint between analysis and synthesis Picture Quote #1

We have the only cookbook in the world that has partial differential equations in it Picture Quote #1

I do believe that everyone growing up faces differential opportunities. With me, it was books and travel and some good teachers Picture Quote #1

There's no doubt that scientific training helps many authors to write better science fiction. And yet, several of the very best were English majors who could not parse a differential equation to save their lives Picture Quote #1

Knowing what is big and what is small is more important than being able to solve partial differential equations Picture Quote #1

Tom and I didn’t have a problem with the height differential but Paramount did, so we tried to hide it Picture Quote #1

Leaders create an environment which everyone has the opportunity to do work which matches his potential capability and for which an equitable differential reward is provided Picture Quote #1

Newton, of course, was the inventor of differential calculus so his place in the tale is quite special Picture Quote #1

Basically, we try to buy value expressed in the differential between its price and what we think its worth Picture Quote #1

I never failed in mathematics. Before I was fifteen I had mastered differential and integral calculus Picture Quote #1

It is well known that the central problem of the whole of modern mathematics is the study of transcendental functions defined by differential equations Picture Quote #1

In order to solve this differential equation you look at it until a solution occurs to you Picture Quote #1

Arithmetic starts with the integers and proceeds by successively enlarging the number system by rational and negative numbers, irrational numbers, etc... But the next quite logical step after the reals, namely the introduction of infinitesimals, has simply been omitted. I think, in coming centuries it will be considered a great oddity in the history of mathematics that the first exact theory of infinitesimals was developed 300 years after the invention of the differential calculus Picture Quote #1

What is the origin of the urge, the fascincation that drives physicists, mathematicians, and presumably other scientists as well? Psychoanalysis suggests that it is sexual curiosity. You start by asking where little babies come from, one thing leads to another, and you find yourself preparing nitroglycerine or solving differential equations. This explanation is somewhat irritating, and therefore probably basically correct Picture Quote #1

Among all of the mathematical disciplines the theory of differential equations is the most important... It furnishes the explanation of all those elementary manifestations of nature which involve time Picture Quote #1
