Osgood, W. F.
The calculus is the
greatest aid we have
to the application
of physical truth in
the broadest sense
of the word.

Mathematicians boast
of their exacting
achievements, but in
reality they are
absorbed in mental
acrobatics and
contribute nothing
to society.

Oppenheimer, Julius Robert (1904 - 1967)
Today, it is not
only that our kings
do not know
mathematics, but our
philosophers do not
know mathematics and
-- to go a step
further -- our
mathematicians do
not know
mathematics.

Knowledge," in
Harper's, 217, 1958.
Oakley, C.O.
The study of
mathematics cannot
be replaced by any
other activity that
will train and
develop man's purely
logical faculties to
the same level of
rationality.
The American
Mathematical
Monthly, 56, 1949,
