ERIC’S MATHEMATICAL QUOTATIONS My favorite quotations from Mathematically Speaking by C. C. Gaither, A. E. CAvazos-Gaither, and Andrew Slocombe. Eric T. Bell. A circle no doubt has a certain appealing simplicity at first glance, but one look at a healthy ellipse should have convinced even the most mystical of astronomers that the perfect simplicity of the circle is akin to the vacant smile of complete idiocy. ERIC’S SUPER MARIO 64 COINS PAGE Super Mario 64 Coins. Super Mario 64. Coins. The main goal in Super Mario 64 is to get stars, but there are also many coins to get in each world. Below is a count of the coins I know of. Nintendo Power published an incorrect coin count. It even published a couple of incorrect "corrections." The screen image below proves Nintendo waswrong.
ERIC’S QUOTATIONS RELATED TO ATHEISM Albert Einstein, “Religion and Science,” New York Times Magazine, 9 November 1930. “A man’s ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties and needs; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward afterdeath.”.

ERIC’S MATHEMATICAL QUOTATIONS My favorite quotations from Mathematically Speaking by C. C. Gaither, A. E. CAvazos-Gaither, and Andrew Slocombe. Eric T. Bell. A circle no doubt has a certain appealing simplicity at first glance, but one look at a healthy ellipse should have convinced even the most mystical of astronomers that the perfect simplicity of the circle is akin to the vacant smile of complete idiocy.
