“I turn away with fright and horror from the lamentable evil of functions which do not have derivatives.” Charles Hermite in a letter to Thomas Jan Stieltjes.
“Nature laughs at the difficulties of integration.” Pierre Simon Laplace (1749-1827)
“Where is it proved that one obtains the derivative of an infinite series by taking the derivative of each term?” Niels Henrik Abel (1802-1829)
