Larger than Life rule (7,75,170,100,200)

"[The universe] stands continuously open to our gaze, but it cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and interpret the characters in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics." - Galileo, 1623

"Expanding the number of individuals prepared to use a greater proportion of their intellectual capacity means, among other things, that our elementary and secondary students must broaden their skills in mathematics and related sciences. In my experience, competency in mathematics -- both in numerical manipulation and in understanding its conceptual foundations -- enhances a person's ability to handle the more ambiguous and qualitative relationships that dominate our day-to-day decisionmaking." - Alan Greenspan, September 21, 2000
