Ask a Philosopher · Accepted Answer

To solve or not to solve, that is the question.
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous equations,
Or to take arms against a sea of numbers,
And by opposing end them? To solve: to cancel;
No more; and by a cancellation to say we end
The heartache and the thousand natural shocks
That numbers are heir to; 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wished. To solve, to cancel;
To cancel, perchance to dream—ay, there's the rub:
For in that cancellation what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this equation coil,
Must give us pause; there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long a math.
