Frases de George Green (mathematician)

“Aunque muchos de los artificios empleados en las obras antes mencionadas destacan por su elegancia, es fácil ver que sólo se adaptan a objetos particulares, y que un método general, capaz de ser empleado en todos los casos, aún no ha sido encontrado.”

“Although many of the artifices employed in the works before mentioned are remarkable for their elegance, it is easy to see they are adapted only to particular objects, and that some general method, capable of being employed in every case, is still wanting.”
