“The principal aim of mathematical education is to develop certain faculties of the mind, and among these intuition is not the least precious. It is through it that the mathematical world remains in touch with the real world, and even if pure mathematics could do without it, we should still have to have recourse to it to fill up the gulf that separates the symbol from reality.”

“Le but principal de l’enseignement math茅matique est de d茅velopper certaines facult茅s de l’esprit et parmi elles l’intuition n’est pas la moins pr茅cieuse. C’est par elle que le monde math茅matique reste en contact avec le monde r茅el et quand les math茅matiques pures pourraient s’en passer, il faudrait toujours y avoir recours pour combler l’ab卯me qui s茅pare le symbole de la r茅alit茅.”
