lying eye science
There is always more in one of Ramanujan's formulae than meets the eye, as anyone who sets to work to verify those which look the easiest will soon discover. In some the interest lies very deep, in others comparatively near the surface; but there is not one which is not curious and entertaining.
lying taxi-cabs two
I remember once going to see him [Ramanujan] when he was lying ill at Putney. I had ridden in taxi-cab No. 1729, and remarked that the number seemed to me rather a dull one, and that I hoped it was not an unfavourable omen. "No," he replied, "it is a very interesting number; it is the smallest number expressible as a sum of two cubes in two different ways."
lying believe math
I believe that mathematical reality lies outside us, that our function is to discover or observe it, and that the theorems which we prove, and which we describe grandiloquently as our "creations," are simply the notes of our observations.

Right now the demand is far exceeding the supply of available physicians and hospital facilities.
computer consequences easy economic environmental exit leave light rather stay students thinking
It is easy for us as students to leave on the light when we exit a room, or let the computer stay on stand-by rather than hibernate without thinking of the environmental or even economic consequences of our actions.
activities awful basement beautiful daily despite easy fall floor pattern spend students third time whether
It is easy for students to fall into the pattern of daily activities here. Whether it is the third floor of McCabe, Cornell basement or Hicks lounge, we spend an awful lot of time indoors, despite our beautiful campus.
chiefly define difficult english-novelist express feelings language men woman
It is difficult for a woman to define her feelings in a language which is chiefly made by men to express theirs.
push symbolic understand
I think this is as much symbolic as anything. But it's still important, and I understand why Sen. Byrd would push for this.

Most of the applicants that we're getting into the agency to hire as public safety officers want to do one or the other -- either be a policemen or a fireman.
