quote for the day

"Modern mathematics deprecates mere ingenuity and seeks underlying general principles . . . An isolated solution obtained by ingenious artifices is more likely to be  evidence of incomplete understanding than a testamonial to perspicacity. The ingenious solver of special problems may still be a useful member of mathematical society, in that he turns up mysterious phenomenon for abler men to strip of their mystery" - E. T. Bell

      I don't really want to discuss english writing here, or anywhere else. My writing is good enough for the purposes of this blog.
