Science Quotes by Henry Parker Manning (1)
The greatest advantage to be derived from the study of geometry of more than three dimensions is a real understanding of the great science of geometry. Our plane and solid geometries are but the beginning of this science. The four-dimensional geometry is far more extensive than the three-dimensional, and all the higher geometries are more extensive than the lower.
— Henry Parker Manning
Geometry of Four Dimensions (1914), 13.
