Abstract
While it is clearly impossible for the average high school teacher of mathematics to become familiar with all the modern branches of this subject, it is desirable that he should not be totally ignorant of any extensive branch. The views of a number of eminent mathematicians often furnish one of the simplest as well as one of the most reliable introductions to the nature and the scope of a difficult subject. The following list of quotations has been prepared for the purpose of providing such an introduction for one subject. The list could easily be extended, but the variety and the standing of the mathematicians quoted are perhaps sufficient to inspire confidence. The qnotations are arranged chronologica1ly, beginning with 1892. several of them were published in the American Mathematical Monthly, volume x. 1903, p. 87
