| Dec 18, 2022 at 20:33 | comment | added | Sam Sanders | I do agree that this question is more at home on hsm stack exchange. | |
| Dec 18, 2022 at 14:53 | comment | added | Carlo Beenakker | I slightly reformulated the question to make it more fact based, rather than opinion based. | |
| Dec 18, 2022 at 14:39 | comment | added | Paul Taylor | @CarloBeenakker: I have voted with you, but maybe the Question would benefit if some summary of Poincaré's essay were added. | |
| Dec 18, 2022 at 13:15 | comment | added | Carlo Beenakker | yes, Poincaré really said this: "Je ne sais si je n’ai déjà dit quelque part que la Mathématique est l’art de donner le même nom à des choses différentes." source --- out of context it sounds strange, but the quote is part of a much longer essay. [I voted to reopen; is this question really "opinion based" ?) | |
| Dec 18, 2022 at 12:56 | comment | added | Mark Wildon | I’m voting to close this question because it is primarily opinion based. | |
