Alexander Grothendieck Quotes
The question you raise, 'How can such a formulation lead to computations?' doesn't bother me in the least!

Thus I never bothered about whether what would come out would be suitable for this or that, but just tried to understand - and it always turned out that understanding was all that mattered.
