A Sane Mind Should Not Be Guilty Of A Logical Fallacy, Yet There Are Very Fine Minds Incapable Of Following Mathematical Demonstrations.

Mathematicians Do Not Deal In Objects, But In Relations Between Objects; Thus, They Are Free To Replace Some Objects By Others So Long As The Relations Remain Unchanged. Content To Them Is Irrelevant: They Are Interested In Form Only.

Mathematicians Do Not Study Objects, But The Relations Between Objects.
