Where exactly did you find this quote?
ReplyDeleteI didn't know this quote until
DeleteI found it —three days ago—
in a novel by Robertson Davies.
However, it behooves me to comment
on the image above:
It is a detail from an oversized Pascal Triangle
[20 Lines] created by an Oliverio Algebra student
in lieu of attending his Algebra class.
He was given a B+ for a final grade.
In some form or other, his Pascal poster
has appeared a half-dozen times
in the Godfather of Math
