Les mathématiques selon B. Russell et E. Borel / Mathematics according to B. Russell and E. Borel


" Mathematics may be defined as the the subject in which we never know what we are talking about, not whether what we are saying is true " 
 
Bertrand Russel In 'Recent Work on the Principles of Mathematics', International Monthly (1901)


«  [...] les mathématiques sont la seule science où l'on sait
 toujours de quoi l'on parle et où l'on est certain que ce que l'on 
dit est vrai » *


Emile Borel, après avoir cité B. Russell in Les grands courants 
de la pensée mathématique, dir. par Le Lionnais F.
