Summary

This quote highlights the fundamental connection between the mathematical sciences and the laws governing the physical world. It suggests that the objective of exact science is to solve the mysteries of nature by expressing them in terms of numerical quantities and using mathematical operations to understand and predict these phenomena. Mathematics serves as a powerful tool to investigate, quantify, and explain the complex relationships and patterns found in the natural world. By reducing natural phenomena to quantitative terms, scientists can gain a deeper understanding of the underlying principles that govern the universe.
