Engineering is too important to wait for science.

The rare scholars who are nomads-by-choice are essential to the intellectual welfare of the settled disciplines.

I went to the computer and tried to experiment. I introduced a very high level of experiment in very pure mathematics.

The theory of chaos and theory of fractals are separate, but have very strong intersections. That is one part of chaos theory is geometrically expressed by fractal shapes.

Why is geometry often described as cold and dry? One reason lies in its inability to describe the shape of a cloud, a mountain, a coastline or a tree.

Asking the right questions is as important as answering them

Both chaos theory and fractal have had contacts in the past when they are both impossible to develop and in a certain sense not ready to be developed.
