Population, when unchecked, increases in a geometrical ratio. -- Thomas Malthus
Many transition states have a well-defined preferred geometrical requirement. -- Derek Harold Richard Barton
Population, when unchecked, goes on doubling itself every 25 years or increases in a geometrical ratio. -- Thomas Malthus
There is still a difference between something and nothing, but it is purely geometrical and there is nothing behind the geometry. -- Martin Gardner
The concentration and reciprocal effect of industry and agriculture conjoin in a growth of productive powers, which increases more in geometrical than in arithmetical proportion. -- Friedrich List
General relativity is the cornerstone of cosmology and astrophysics. It has also provided the conceptual basis for string theory and other attempts to unify all the forces of nature in terms of geometrical structures. -- Paul Davies
Eclipse' is a concept piece, and its concept centers on 36 large light bulbs strung from above in a geometrical pattern and at different heights, some of them at times down below the dancers' chest level. -- Robert Gottlieb
This simple idea served to provide information on the geometrical shape of reacting molecules, and I was able to make the role of the frontier orbitals in chemical reactions more distinct through visualization, by drawing their diagrams. -- Kenichi Fukui
It is impossible to anticipate all of the misdeeds engendered by the universal conflict of human passions. They multiply at a compound rate with the growth in population and the interlacing of particular interests that cannot be directed with geometrical precision towards the public utility. -- Cesare Beccaria
We cannot ... prove geometrical truths by arithmetic. -- Aristotle
Many transition states have a well-defined preferred geometrical requirement. -- Derek Harold Richard Barton
No Roman ever died in contemplation over a geometrical diagram. -- Alfred North Whitehead
All conceptions in the game of chess have a geometrical basis. -- Eugene Znosko-Borovsky
The arithmetical symbols are written diagrams and the geometrical figures are graphic formulas. -- David Hilbert
Astronomy was the cradle of the natural sciences and the starting point of geometrical theories. -- Cornelius Lanczos
Deep down, it's all baseball, no matter what kind of geometrical shape you play it with. -- Vernon D. Burns
A house that has been experienced is not an inert box. Inhabited space transcends geometrical space. -- Gaston Bachelard
The beauty of life is, therefore, geometrical beauty of a type that Plato would have much appreciated. -- John Desmond Bernal
Beauty cannot be defined by abscissas and ordinates; neither are circles and ellipses created by their geometrical formulas. -- Carl von Clausewitz
The couturier should be a geometrician, for the human body makes geometrical figures to which the materials should correspond. -- Madeleine Vionnet
There is still a difference between something and nothing, but it is purely geometrical and there is nothing behind the geometry." -- Martin Gardner
I quickly learned that reading is cumulative and proceeds by geometrical progression: each new reading builds upon whatever the reader has read before. -- Alberto Manguel
Next comes the realist phase ("After all, from a purely geometrical point of view a cat is only a tube with a door at the top."). -- Terry Pratchett
Both a priori reasoning and experience teach us that as as these funds grow larger the geometrical rate of growth by compound interest ultimately defeats itself. -- Benjamin Graham
If they would, for Example, praise the Beauty of a Woman, or any other Animal, they describe it by Rhombs, Circles, Parallelograms, Ellipses, and other geometrical terms ... -- Jonathan Swift
The mathematical difficulties of the theory of rotation arise chiefly from the want of geometrical illustrations and sensible images, by which we might fix the results of analysis in our minds. -- James Clerk Maxwell
The laws of Nature are written in the language of mathematics...the symbols are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without whose help it is impossible to comprehend a single word. -- Galileo Galilei
I know death hath ten thousand several doorsFor men to take their exits; and 'tis foundThey go on such strange geometrical hinges,You may open them both ways: any way, for heaven-sake -- John Webster
A geometrical theory in physical interpretation can never be validated with mathematical certainty ... ; like any other theory of empirical science, it can acquire only a more or less high degree of confirmation. -- Carl Gustav Hempel
Population, when unchecked, increases in a geometrical ratio. Subsistence increases only in an arithmetical ratio. A slight acquaintance with numbers will shew the immensity of the first power in comparison of the second. -- Thomas Malthus
A few rules include all that is necessary for the perfection of the definitions, the axioms, and the demonstrations, and consequently of the entire method of the geometrical proofs of the art of persuading. -- Blaise Pascal
