Book cover for Infinite Powers: How Calculus Reveals the Secrets of the Universe – A Revolutionary History from Ancient Greece to Modern Technology
the Infinity Principle. It will guide us on our journey just as it guided the development of calculus itself, conceptually as well as historically. I’m tempted to state it right now, but at this point it would sound like mumbo jumbo.

“I was a victim of a series of accidents, as are we all.”
Kurt Vonnegut, The Sirens of Titan

John Steinbeck
“It has always seemed strange to me...The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second.”
John Steinbeck, Cannery Row

Kurt Vonnegut Jr.
“I think Willim Shakespeare was the wisest human being I ever heard of. To be perfectly frank though, that's not saying much. We are impossibly conceited animals, and actually dumb as heck. Ask any teacher. You don't even have to ask a teacher. Ask anybody. Dogs and cats are smarter than we are.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Hocus Pocus

Mickey Spillane
“Nobody reads a book to get to the middle.”
Mickey Spillane

Thomas Berger
“If you want to really relax sometime, just fall to rock bottom and you'll be a happy man. Most all troubles come from having standards.”
Thomas Berger, Little Big Man
