Dean Schlicter who

[matematikawan]

The following quotation from Dean Schlicter is an inspiration

"Go down deep enough into anything and you will find mathematics."


But who is Dean Schlicter. I don't see much information about him on the internet except for that quotation.

Do someone have knowledge about him?

[tiny-tim]

There was a Dean Charles Schlichter at Berkeley, and also at Wisconsin …

but no indication of any connection with the quotation.

It rather looks as if the quotation is invented.

[matematikawan]

That's a pity. It could have been a great service to mathematic if it had come from a famous scientist.
