"Philosophy
is written in this grand book, the universe, which stands
continually open to our gaze. But the book cannot be understood unless
one first learns to comprehend the language and read the characters in
which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and
its characters are triangles, circles, and other geometric figures
without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of
it; without these one is wandering in a dark labyrinth."
Galileo Galilei, The Assayer (Il Saggiatore), 1623
