My "Whenever I Have the Time" Compilation of Mattuck Quotes:
2/17/89:
"The obscurity is in the first step. If you knew the first
step you could get the rest. It's better if the obscurity
comes at the end, because then you at least feel you've
understood some of it."
"This should be impossible to calculate, but in fact it is
trivial to calculate."
2/23/89:
"Only a mad person would use L'Hopital's on something that
looks like this."
"Chaos has a mathematical definition, but it's not an ellipse."
