“Logic moves in one direction, the direction of clarity, coherence and structure. Ambiguity moves in the other direction, that of fluidity, openness, and release. Mathematics moves back and forth between these two poles.

“Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.” Albert Einstein (1879-1955)

“One cannot understand… the universality of laws of nature, the relationship of things, without an understanding of mathematics. There is no other way to do it.”
Richard P. Feynman

“Philosophy is written in this grand book–I mean the universe–which stands continually open to our glaze, but it cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and interpret the characters in which it is written.

Galileo Galilei (Il Saggiatore, 1623)

“Math is the only place where truth and beauty mean the same thing.”
Danica McKellar

It’s getting warm enough to spend time on the beach again. The girls and I wandered down on Sunday and spent some time running in and out of the water. It’s still a little cold for me but they had a great time.

The Pacific Black Duck, Anas superciliosa is a dabbling duck found in much of Indonesia, New Guinea, Australia, New Zealand, and many islands in the southwestern Pacific, reaching to the Caroline Islands in the north and French Polynesia in the east. It is usually called the Grey Duck or Pārera in New Zealand.
