1. Examples of Gamma Factors
2. The Theory of Invariants
quote
The most beautiful and deepest experience a man can have is the sense of
the mysterious. It is the underlying principle of religion as well as of
all serious endeavor in art and in science...He who never had this
experience seems to me, if not dead, then at least blind. The sense that
behind anything that can be experiened there is something that our mind
cannot grasp and whose beauty and sublimity reaches us only indirectly and
as feeble reflexion, this is religiousness. In this sense I am religious. To me it suffices to wonder at these secrets and to attempt
humbly to grasp with my mind a mere image of the lofty structure of all
that there is.
-- Albert Einstein (1932)
