Richard Hamming Quotes

I Have Tried, With Little Success, To Get Some Of My Friends To Understand My Amazement That The Abstraction Of Integers For Counting Is Both Possible And Useful. Is It Not Remarkable That 6 Sheep Plus 7 Sheep Makes 13 Sheep; That 6 Stones Plus 7 Stones Make 13 Stones? Is It Not A Miracle That The Universe Is So Constructed That Such A Simple Abstraction As A Number Is Possible? To Me This Is One Of The Strongest Examples Of The Unreasonable Effectiveness Of Mathematics. Indeed, I Find It Both Strange And Unexplainable.
