Philosophy of Nature...
is written in that great book which ever is before our eyes:
-- I mean the universe --
But we cannot understand it
If we do not first learn the language
And grasp the symbols in which it is written
The book is written in mathematical language
And the symbols are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures
Without whose help it is impossible to comprehend a single word of it
Without which one wanders in vain through a dark labyrinth.
Italian Astronomer, Physicist, Engineer, and Polymath (1564 - 1642)
Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom.
- Aristotle
