Arithmetic Quotes

I do not believe there is anything useful which men can know with exactitude that they cannot know by arithmetic and algebra Picture Quote #1

You can either have software quality or you can have pointer arithmetic, but you cannot have both at the same time Picture Quote #1

God looks not at the oratory of your prayers, how elegant they may be; nor at the geometry of your prayers, how long they may be; nor at the arithmetic of your prayers, how many they may be; not at logic of your prayers, how methodical they may be; but the sincerity of them he looks at Picture Quote #1

... imagine what you are writing about. See it and live it. Do not think it up laboriously, as if you were working out mental arithmetic. Just look at it, touch it, smell it, listen to it, turn yourself into it. When you do this, the words look after themselves, like magic Picture Quote #1

A peculiarity of the higher arithmetic is the great difficulty which has often been experienced in proving simple general theorems which had been suggested quite naturally by numerical evidence Picture Quote #1

The desire to economize time and mental effort in arithmetical computations, and to eliminate human liability to error is probably as old as the science of arithmetic itself Picture Quote #1

Schools are really bad now. Schools are not only bad in reading, writing and arithmetic, they’re worse in cultural aspects, like in music and art. They don’t teach you anything Picture Quote #1

We have the most crude accounting tools. It’s tragic because our accounts and our national arithmetic doesn’t tell us the things that we need to know Picture Quote #1

The problem of distinguishing prime numbers from composite numbers and of resolving the latter into their prime factors is known to be one of the most important and useful in arithmetic. It has engaged the industry and wisdom of ancient and modern geometers to such an extent that it would be superfluous to discuss the problem at length... Further, the dignity of the science itself seems to require that every possible means be explored for the solution of a problem so elegant and so celebrated Picture Quote #1

I am coming more and more to the conviction that the necessity of our geometry cannot be demonstrated, at least neither by, nor for, the human intellect... geometry should be ranked, not with arithmetic, which is purely aprioristic, but with mechanics Picture Quote #1

The analysis of variance is not a mathematical theorem, but rather a convenient method of arranging the arithmetic Picture Quote #1

Arithmetic must be discovered in just the same sense in which Columbus discovered the West Indies, and we no more create numbers than he created the Indians Picture Quote #1

I have no great faith in political arithmetic, and I mean not to warrant the exactness of either of these computations Picture Quote #1

Ruminates like an hostess that hath no arithmetic but her brain to set down her reckoning Picture Quote #1

Arithmetic starts with the integers and proceeds by successively enlarging the number system by rational and negative numbers, irrational numbers, etc... But the next quite logical step after the reals, namely the introduction of infinitesimals, has simply been omitted. I think, in coming centuries it will be considered a great oddity in the history of mathematics that the first exact theory of infinitesimals was developed 300 years after the invention of the differential calculus Picture Quote #1

Arithmetic is numbers you squeeze from your head to your hand to your pencil to your paper till you get the answer Picture Quote #1

In the arithmetic of love, one plus one equals everything, and two minus one equals nothing Picture Quote #1

I compare arithmetic with a tree that unfolds upwards in a multitude of techniques and theorems while the root drives into the depths Picture Quote #1

Those arts which are, to be sure, not finite, as geometry and arithmetic, do not suffer adornment; others, contrarily, are rather subject to division and embellishment, such as astronomy and jurisprudence Picture Quote #1

Cardinal arithmetic will be quite important for us, so we spend some time on it. Since, however, it tends to be trivial, we shall not need to spend much of this time on proofs Picture Quote #1

Eternity is a depth which no geometry can measure, no arithmetic calculate, no imagination conceive, no rhetoric describe Picture Quote #1

Never was so much false arithmetic employed on any subject, as that which has been employed to persuade nations that it is in their interest to go to war Picture Quote #1

That arithmetic is the basest of all mental activities is proved by the fact that it is the only one that can be accomplished by a machine Picture Quote #1

All that passes for knowledge can be arranged in a hierarchy of degrees of certainty, with arithmetic and the facts of perception at the top Picture Quote #1

Tis no extravagant arithmetic to say, that for every ten jokes, thou hast got an hundred enemies; and till thou hast gone on, and raised a swarm of wasps about thine ears, and art half stung to death by them, thou wilt never be convinced it is so Picture Quote #1

Some of our problems can no more be solved correctly by majority opinion than can a problem in arithmetic and there are few problems that cannot be solved according to what is just and right without resort to popular opinion Picture Quote #1

When I came home and showed my mother my report card with a mark of 98 in arithmetic, she wanted to know who had gotten the other two points Picture Quote #1

Manners are like zero in arithmetic. They may not be much in themselves, but they are capable of adding a great deal of value to everything else Picture Quote #1

Thus number may be said to rule the whole world of quantity, and the four rules of arithmetic may be regarded as the complete equipment of the mathematician Picture Quote #1

The mathematical phenomenon always develops out of simple arithmetic, so useful in everyday life, out of numbers, those weapons of the gods: the gods are there, behind the wall, at play with numbers Picture Quote #1
