On engineers, physicists and mathematicians. Best quote ever.

By On June 11, 2011 · Leave a Comment

An engineer thinks that his equations are an approximation to reality. A physicist thinks reality is an approximation to his equations. A mathematician doesn’t care.

Honestly, this could easily be the best and most apt phrase I ever heard. Does anyone know who should I attribute this quote to?
