I tend to regard the Coase theorem as a stepping stone on the way to an analysis of an economy with positive transaction costs.
Science is the one culture that's truly global - protons, proteins and Pythagoras's Theorem are the same from China to Peru. It should transcend all barriers of nationality. It should straddle all faiths, too.
I'm no enthusiast for the Coase Theorem. I don't like it, but it's widely used.
Words are the children of reason and, therefore, can't explain it. They really can't translate feeling because they're not part of it. That's why it bugs me when people try to analyze jazz as an intellectual theorem. It's not. It's feeling.
The analysis of variance is not a mathematical theorem, but rather a convenient method of arranging the arithmetic.
No matter how correct a mathematical theorem may appear to be, one ought never to be satisfied that there was not something imperfect about it until it also gives the impression of being beautiful.
The Limbaugh Theorem was not about me giving me credit for something. It was simply sharing with you when the light went off.
That is why one day I said my game will be like the Pythagorean Theorem - hard to figure out. A lot of people really don't know the Pythagorean Theory. They don't make them like me anymore. They don't want to make them like that anymore.
There is no answer to the Pythagorean theorem. Well, there is an answer, but by the time you figure it out, I got 40 points, 10 rebounds and then we're planning for the parade.
I realized that anything to do with Fermat's Last Theorem generates too much interest.
