Abraham   Verghese
“Pray tell us, what's your favorite number?"...
"Shiva jumped up to the board, uninvited, and wrote 10,213,223"...
"And pray, why would this number interest us?"
"It is the only number that describes itself when you read it, 'One zero, two ones, three twos, two threes'.”
Abraham Verghese, Cutting for Stone

René Descartes
“But in my opinion, all things in nature occur mathematically.”
Rene Decartes
