The Universe Is Almost Like A Huge

The Computers Are Not Replacing Mathematicians; They Are Breeding Them.

As I Have Often Said, Electrons And Gerbils Don't Cheat. People Do.

Indeed, There Is Something To Be Said For The Old Math When Taught By A Poorly Trained Teacher. He Can, At Least, Get Across The Fundamental Rules Of Calculation Without Too Much Confusion. The Same Teacher Trying To Teach New Math Is Apt To Get Across Nothing At All.

Let The Bible Be The Bible. It's Not About Science. It's Not Accurate History. It Is A Grab Bag Of Religious Fantasies Written By Many Authors. Some Of Its Myths, Like The Star Of Bethlehem, Are Very Beautiful. Others Are Dull And Ugly. Some Express Lofty Ideals, Such As The Parables Of Jesus. Others Are Morally Disgusting.

The Teacher Came Along And Snatched My Papers On Which I Had Been Doodling... She Did Not Realize That Analyzing Tic-tac-toe Can Lead Into Dozens Of Non-trivial Mathematical Questions.
