In a few decades of reconstruction, even the mathematical natural sciences, the ancient archetypes of theoretical perfection, have changed habit completely!

The informatics/computer science re-establishes not only the unity between the pure and the applied mathematical sciences, the concrete technique and the concrete mathematics, but also that between the natural sciences, the human being and the society. It restores the concepts of the abstract and the formal and makes peace between arts and science not only in the scientist' conscience, but in their philosophy as well.

The social sciences, I thought, needed the same kind of rigor and the same mathematical underpinnings that had made the ""hard"" sciences so brilliantly successful.

You kind of alluded to it in your introduction. I mean, for the last 300 or so years, the exact sciences have been dominated by what is really a good idea, which is the idea that one can describe the natural world using mathematical equations.

I believe sanity and realism can be restored to the teaching of Mathematical Statistics most easily and directly by entrusting such teaching largely to men and women who have had personal experience of research in the Natural Sciences.

For in this century, within the next decades, will be decided for generations whether all mankind is to become Communist, whether the whole world is to become free, or whether, in the struggle, civilization as we know it is to be completely destroyed or completely changed.

It is probably safe to say that all the changes of factual knowledge which have led to the relativity theory, resulting in a very great theoretical development, are completely trivial from any point of view except their relevance to the structure of a theoretical system.

The sciences do not try to explain, they hardly even try to interpret, they mainly make models. By a model is meant a mathematical construct which, with the addition of certain verbal interpretations, describes observed phenomena. The justification of such a mathematical construct is solely and precisely that it is expected to work.

Such an emphasis on the immanence of God as Creator in, with, and under the natural processes of the world unveiled by the sciences is certainly in accord with all that the sciences have revealed since those debates of the nineteenth century.

I'm Looking Through You
I'm looking through you, where did you go?
I thought I knew you, what did I know?
You don't look different, but you have changed,
I'm looking through you, you're not the same
Your lips are moving, I cannot hear,
Your voice is soothing, but the words aren't clear
You don't sound different, I've learned the game,
I'm looking through you, you're not the same
Why, tell me why did you not treat me right,
Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight
You're thinking of me, the same old way,
You were above me, but not today
The only difference is you're down there,
I'm looking through you, and you're now here
Why, tell me why did you not treat me right,
Love has a nasty habit of disappearing overnight
I'm looking through you, where did you go?
I thought I knew you, what did I know?
You don't look different, but you have changed,
I'm looking through you, you're not the same
Yeah, oh, baby you've changed,
aah, I'm looking through you Yeah,
I'm looking through you, you've changed,
You've changed, you've changed, you've changed

Mark all mathematical heads which be wholly and only bent on these sciences, how solitary they be themselves, how unfit to live with others, how unapt to serve the world.

Habit is a second nature that destroys the first. But what is nature? Why is habit not natural? I am very much afraid that nature itself is only a first habit, just as habit is a second nature.

All science requires mathematics. The knowledge of mathematical things is almost innate in us. This is the easiest of sciences, a fact which is obvious in that no one's brain rejects it; for laymen and people who are utterly illiterate know how to count and reckon.

Sweetest Perfection
The sweetest perfection
To call my own
The slightest correction
Couldn't finely hone
The sweetest infection
Of body and mind
Sweetest injection of any kind
I stop and I stare too much
Afraid that I care too much
And I hardly dare to touch
For fear that the spell may be broken
When I need a drug in me
And it brings out the thug in me
Feel something tugging me
Then I want the real thing not tokens
The sweetest perfection
Things you'd expect to be
Having effect on me
Pass undetectedly
But everyone knows what has got me
Takes me completely
Touches so sweetly
Reaches so deeply
I know that nothing can stop me
Sweetest perfection
An offer was made
An assorted collection
But I wouldn't trade
The sweetest perfection
Takes me completely
Touches so sweetly
Reaches so deeply
Nothing can stop me

Her Only Bad Habit Is Me
Shes an angel and I aint
Lord knows she deserves a saint
And it dont take a genius to see
Her only bad habit is me
Why she loves me I dont know
I can sure be a hard way to go
But Im right here where she wants me to be
Her only bad habit is me
Chorus:
Most of the time Im walking the line
But sometimes I get out of hand
My baby scolds me and later on she holds me
She loves me and she understands
Shes perfection, shes a ten
My baby never looks at other men
She has just one weakness I see
Her only bad habit is me
Most of the time Im walking the line
But sometimes I get out of hand
My baby scolds me and later on she holds me
She loves me and she understands
Shes perfection, shes a ten
My baby never looks at other men
She has just one weakness I see
Her only bad habit is me

All the mathematical sciences are founded on relations between physical laws and laws of numbers, so that the aim of exact science is to reduce the problems of nature to the determination of quantities by operations with numbers.
