IT
IS IMPROBABLE THAN IMPOSSIBLE TODAY
“Yesterday’s impossibilities have
become the commonplace realities of today”-said by Prof. John Brobeck. Many mathematical accomplishments
were at one time considered as impossible because at that time those ideas were
beyond the ability of man to understand or to foresee.
Finding the possible solution of a single
linear equation without assuming values for one variable, finding
the slope of a line equation with only one point(or two pairs), predicting several mean response variables
from a single known explanatory variable,
and predicting several total costs from a
known output of only one total cost-these are realities now that may have
been described as impossible. We may attempt to say some new mathematical ideas
is impossible to explain or understand in terms of our present knowledge. The
only thing we need to add to our source of mental
capability is GOD.
