"In mathematics you don't understand things. You just get used to them."
- John von Neumann, mathematician (1903 - 1957)
I have always loved math. It is the one pure subject. In every other subject, you have "maybes" and "we thinks". Math is the only subject that says "This is true! As True as Truth can be!" Einstein proved newton's theory of gravity wrong... but no-one will ever show that newton's calculus is wrong. not in one million years. math is forever.
