arteries artificial fire industry people reality resistant shifted strong suits
People think that the industry is dying, but in reality it is as strong as ever; it has just shifted in a new direction. Most people think of textiles as clothes, and that is all they know, but it is everything from artificial arteries to chemically resistant suits for fire fighters.

Because GAC is all about artists and music, we're a logical fit.
art men games
No mathematician should ever allow himself to forget that mathematics, more than any other art or science, is a young man's game
appreciation art writing
It is a melancholy experience for a professional mathematician to find himself writing about mathematics. The function of a mathematician is to do something, to prove new theorems, to add to mathematics, and not to talk about what he or other mathematicians have done. Statesmen despise publicists, painters despise art-critics, and physiologists, physicists, or mathematicians have usually similar feelings: there is no scorn more profound, or on the whole more justifiable, than that of the men who make for the men who explain. Exposition, criticism, appreciation, is work for second-rate minds.
art real justified
Real mathematics must be justified as art if it can be justified at all.
art past men
No mathematician should ever allow him to forget that mathematics, more than any other art or science, is a young man's game. ... Galois died at twenty-one, Abel at twenty-seven, Ramanujan at thirty-three, Riemann at forty. There have been men who have done great work later; ... [but] I do not know of a single instance of a major mathematical advance initiated by a man past fifty. ... A mathematician may still be competent enough at sixty, but it is useless to expect him to have original ideas.
art science men
A science or an art may be said to be "useful" if its development increases, even indirectly, the material well-being and comfort of men, it promotes happiness, using that word in a crude and commonplace way.
art men mad
When the world is mad, a mathematician may find in mathematics an incomparable anodyne. For mathematics is, of all the arts and sciences, the most austere and the most remote, and a mathematician should be of all men the one who can most easily take refuge where, as Bertrand Russell says, "one at least of our nobler impulses can best escape from the dreary exile of the actual world."
art creative mathematics
I am interested in mathematics only as a creative art.

I think we'll have to see where the board of trustees wants to go.

I think we all really enjoyed both the dynamic personalities and active debate during the panel.

Over the years we have looked at any number of sites. We went so far as to put in an offer to purchase on it. When you get that far, you stop looking at other alternatives.
