Quotation:
"It is too bad that it has to be mathematics, and that mathematics is
hard for some people. It is reputed---I do not know if it is
true---when one of the kings was trying to learn geometry from
Euclid
he complained that it was difficult. And Euclid said, 'there is no
royal road to geometry'. And there is NO royal road (to Dynamics as
well). Physicists
cannot make a conversion to any other language. If you want to learn
about nature, to appreciate nature, it is necessary to understand the
language that she speaks in. She offers her information only in one
form; we are not so unhumble as to demand that she change before we pay
any attention."
Richard P. Feynman,
The
Character of Physical Law, p.52.

Quotation:
``If the student had no opportunity in school to familiarize himself
with the
varying emotions of the struggle for the solution,
his
mathematical (dynamics) education failed at the most vital point.''
George Polya,
How to solve it.
