Jordan Ellenberg
“Dividing one number by another is mere computation ; knowing what to divide by what is mathematics.”
Jordan Ellenberg, How Not to Be Wrong: The Power of Mathematical Thinking

“In the future, an executive will be supported by an abundance of computation power and powerful AI.”
Jorn Lyseggen, Outside Insight: Navigating a World Drowning in External Data
