Numerical quantities focus on expected values, graphical summaries on unexpected values. -- John Tukey
--
Numerical superiority is of no consequence. In battle, victory will go to the best tactician."- G. A. Custer -- Robert Asprin
Numerical logistic is that which employs numbers; symbolic logistic that which uses symbols, as, say, the letters of the alphabet. -- Francois Viete

Eliminate numerical quotas, including Management by Objectives. -- W. Edwards Deming
There is no set numerical value you can put on a pitcher. They're all different. -- Tom Seaver
I cannot transfer my abilities to anyone, but I can think of quicker ways with which to help people develop numerical aptitude. -- Shakuntala Devi
There was a project at Lawrence Livermore National Labs where many years ago they went down this path for scripting and controlling very large numerical calculations. -- Guido van Rossum
The only reason baseball's numerical touchstones have any significance is that most players - even the game's greats - peter out just barely before they reach them. -- Stephen Rodrick
To succeed, you will soon learn, as I did, the importance of a solid foundation in the basics of education - literacy, both verbal and numerical, and communication skills. -- Alan Greenspan
I believe that the brain has evolved over millions of years to be responsive to different kinds of content in the world. Language content, musical content, spatial content, numerical content, etc. -- Howard Gardner
It is a horrible fact that we can read in the daily paper, without interrupting our breakfast, numerical reckonings of death and destruction that ought to break our hearts or scare us out of our wits. -- Wendell Berry
Defendants are being evaluated based on numerical grid without any aggravating circumstances being considered. The effect has been to transfer the disparity from the judge to the prosecutor allowing for a great deal of leeway on indictments. -- Harold H. Greene
Jake Green isn't just Jake Green. Jake represents all of us. The colour green is the central column of the spectrum and the name Jake has all sorts of numerical values. All things come back to him within the film's world of cons and games. -- Guy Ritchie
I regard it in fact as the great advantage of the mathematical technique that it allows us to describe, by means of algebraic equations, the general character of a pattern even where we are ignorant of the numerical values which will determine its particular manifestation. -- Friedrich August von Hayek
I can well imagine that certain writers, even writers that we'd consider today very great writers, may not necessarily have tested highly on IQ just because of their numerical skills, or maybe they may not be very good at memory, and are not particularly good at these kinds of tests. -- Daniel Tammet
Catastrophe is numerical. Loss is singular, one beloved at a time. -- Anna Quindlen
I have no satisfaction in formulas unless I feel their numerical magnitude. -- Lord Kelvin
Our searches for numerical order lead as often to terminal nuttiness as to profound insight. -- Stephen Jay Gould
There is no set numerical value you can put on a pitcher. Theyre all different. -- Tom Seaver
The practising Bayesian is well advised to become friends with as many numerical analysts as possible. -- Jim Berger
The truth is that everything is One, and this of course is not a numerical one. -- Philip Kapleau
Mother Teresa's numerical results were not her greatest contribution. Instead, she made the world-and especially India-conscious of compassion. -- Peter Drucker
I think that the solution of the question of numerical superiority of Russian conventional forces has to be solved. -- Helmut Schmidt
Statistics may be defined as the discipline concerned with the treatment of numerical data derived from groups of individuals. -- Peter Armitage
There is a proverbial saying chiefly concerned with warning against too closely calculating the numerical value of un-hatched chicks. -- Neil Gaiman
The number eighteen is symbolically meaningful because it is the numerical equivalent of the Hebrew word chai, which means life. -- Michael Bamberger
And empathy is narrow; it connects us to particular individuals, real or imagined, but is insensitive to numerical differences and statistical data. -- Paul Bloom
There is a genius of a nation, which is not to be found in the numerical citizens, but which characterizes the society. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson
Without numerical fluency, in the part of life most of us inhibit, you are like a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest. -- Charlie Munger
I have tried to avoid long numerical computations, thereby following Riemann's postulate that proofs should be given through ideas and not voluminous computations. -- David Hilbert
There is more danger of numerical sequences continued indefinitely than of trees growing up to heaven. Each will some time reach its greatest height. -- Gottlob Frege
Nothing has afforded me so convincing a proof of the unity of the Deity as these purely mental conceptions of numerical and mathematical science. -- Mary Somerville
Equality is of two kinds, numerical and proportional; by the first I mean sameness of equality in number or size; by the second, equality of ratios. -- Aristotle
Knowledge is first and wisdom is the manifestation of knowledge. To understand this tone and pattern of thinking in the numerical way automatically resonated with me. -- RZA
I can show you that the art of calculation has to do with odd and even numbers in their numerical relations to themselves and to each other. -- Plato
The non-scientist in the street probably has a clearer notion of physics, chemistry and biology than of statistics, regarding statisticians as numerical philatelists, mere collector of numbers. -- Stephen Senn
Truth is more deceptive than falsehood, for it is more frequently presented by those from whom we do not expect it, and so has against it a numerical presumption. -- Ambrose Bierce
A peculiarity of the higher arithmetic is the great difficulty which has often been experienced in proving simple general theorems which had been suggested quite naturally by numerical evidence. -- Harold Davenport
The outstanding feature, however, is the possibility that the velocity-distance relation may represent the de Sitter effect, and hence that numerical data may be introduced into discussions of the general curvature of space. -- Edwin Powell Hubble
The equations at which we arrive must be such that a person of any nation, by substituting the numerical values of the quantities as measured by his own national units, would obtain a true result. -- James Clerk Maxwell
