Life, maths and science down under. In defence of mathematics. A engineer, a physicist and a mathematician are on a train to Scotland. Past the border, they glimpse a lone black sheep standing in the grass. “How interesting,” says the engineer, “Scottish sheep are black.” The physicist retorts, “Not necessarily. Scottish sheep are black.” Puzzled, the mathematician declares “You’re both wrong. In Scotland, there is at least one field, containing at least one sheep,. At least one side of which. The standa...
