$ fortune | cowsay _________________________________________ / In the course of reading Hadamard's \ | "The Psychology of Invention in the | | Mathematical Field", I have come across | | evidence supporting a fact which we | | coffee achievers have long appreciated: | | no really creative, intelligent thought | | is possible without a good cup of | | coffee. On page 14, Hadamard is | | discussing Poincare's theory of | | fuchsian groups and fuchsian functions, | | which he describes as "... one of his | | greatest discoveries, the first which | | consecrated his glory ..." Hadamard | | refers to Poincare having had a "... | | sleepless night which initiated all | | that memorable work ..." and gives the | | following, very revealing quote: | | | | "One evening, contrary to my custom, I | | drank black coffee and | | | | could not sleep. Ideas rose in crowds; | | I felt them collide | | | | until pairs interlocked, so to speak, | | making a stable | | | | combination." | | | | Too bad drinking black coffee was | | contrary to his custom. Maybe he could | | really have amounted to something as a | \ coffee achiever. / ----------------------------------------- \ ^__^ \ (oo)\_______ (__)\ )\/\ ||----w | || ||
