“Mathematics may be compared to a mill of exquisite workmanship, which grinds your stuff to any degree of fineness; but, nevertheless, what you get out depends on what you put in; and as the grandest mill in the world will not extract wheat flour from peas cods, so pages of formulae will not get a definite result out of loose data.

les mathématiques peuvent être comparées à un moulin d'un travail exquis, qui broie vos affaires à n'importe quel degré de finesse; mais, néanmoins, ce que vous sortez dépend de ce que vous y mettez; et comme le plus grand moulin au monde n'extrayera pas la farine de blé des cabillauds de pois, les pages de formules n'obtiendront pas un résultat précis à partir de données lâches.
математику можно сравнить с фабрикой изысканного мастерства, которая размалывает ваши вещи до любой степени тонкости; но, тем не менее, то, что вы получаете, зависит от того, что вы положили; и поскольку самая крупная мельница в мире не будет извлекать пшеничную муку из гороховой трески, то страницы формул не получат определенного результата из-за недостающих данных.
