Balfour Stewart quotes
-
“I do not think the division of the subject into two parts - into applied mathematics and experimental physics a good one, for natural philosophy without experiment is merely mathematical exercise, while experiment without mathematics will neither sufficiently discipline the mind or sufficiently extend our knowledge in a subject like physics.”
-- Balfour Stewart -
“It is not impossible to suppose that in this case our luminary was taken in the act...”
-- Balfour Stewart
