Text Quotes
Mathematics deals exclusively with the relations of concepts to each other without consideration of their relation to experience (Mathematics Quotes)
The study of geometry is a petty and idle exercise of the mind, if it is applied to no larger system than the starry one. Mathematics should be mixed not only with physics but with ethics; that is mixed mathematics (Mathematics Quotes)
Mathematics is an obscure field, an abstruse science, complicated and exact; yet so many have attained perfection in it that we might conclude almost anyone who seriously applied himself would achieve a measure of success (Mathematics Quotes)
Mathematics has a threefold purpose. It must provide an instrument for the study of nature. But this is not all: it has a philosophical purpose, and, I daresay, an aesthetic purpose (Mathematics Quotes)
If a man’s wit be wandering, let him study the mathematics; for in demonstrations, if his wit be called away never so little, he must begin again (Mathematics Quotes)
If we wish to foresee the future of mathematics, our proper course is to study the history and present condition of the science (Mathematics Quotes)
Mathematics can remove no prejudices and soften no obduracy. It has no influence in sweetening the bitter strife of parties, and in the moral world generally its action is perfectly null (Mathematics Quotes)
The science of mathematics performs more than it promises, but the science of metaphysics promises more than it performs (Mathematics Quotes)
The science of mathematics presents the most brilliant example of how pure reason may successfully enlarge its domain without the aid of experience (Mathematics Quotes)
Economics has become increasingly an arcane branch of mathematics rather than dealing with real economic problems (Mathematics Quotes)
Whoever despises the high wisdom of mathematics nourishes himself on delusion and will never still the sophistic sciences whose only product is an eternal uproar (Mathematics Quotes)
Mathematics is like draughts in being suitable for the young, not too difficult, amusing, and without peril to the state (Mathematics Quotes)
Mathematics is a more powerful instrument of knowledge than any other that has been bequeathed to us by human agency (Mathematics Quotes)
What science can there be more noble, more excellent, more useful for men, more admirably high and demonstrative, than this of mathematics? (Mathematics Quotes)
After years of finding mathematics easy, I finally reached integral calculus and came up against a barrier. I realized that this was as far as I could go, and to this day I have never successfully gone beyond it in any but the most superficial way (Mathematics Quotes)
The latest authors, like the most ancient, strove to subordinate the phenomena of nature to the laws of mathematics (Mathematics Quotes)
For a physicist mathematics is not just a tool by means of which phenomena can be calculated, it is the main source of concepts and principles by means of which new theories can be created (Mathematics Quotes)
Ordinary language is totally unsuited for expressing what physics really asserts, since the words of everyday life are not sufficiently abstract. Only mathematics and mathematical logic can say as little as the physicist means to say (Mathematics Quotes)
On the ostensible exactitude of certain branches of human knowledge, including mathematics. The exactness is a fake (Mathematics Quotes)
Physics is essentially an intuitive and concrete science. Mathematics is only a means for expressing the laws that govern phenomena (Mathematics Quotes)
The true spirit of delight... is to be found in mathematics as surely as in poetry (Mathematics Quotes)
Those who condemn the supreme certainty of mathematics feed on confusion, and can never silence the contradictions of the sophistical sciences which lead to eternal quackery (Mathematics Quotes)
Some of the greatest advances in mathematics have been due to the invention of symbols, which it afterwards became necessary to explain; from the minus sign proceeded the whole theory of negative quantities (Mathematics Quotes)
I have deeply regretted that I did not proceed far enough at least to understand something of the great leading principles of mathematics, for men thus endowed seem to have an extra sense (Mathematics Quotes)
I’d like to take some calculus, too. I have absolutely no ability in that direction and not much interest, either, but there’s something going on in mathematics that I don’t understand, and I’d like to find out what it is (Mathematics Quotes)
Mathematics has the completely false reputation of yielding infallible conclusions. Its infallibility is nothing but identity. Two times two is not four, but it is just two times two, and that is what we call four for short. But four is nothing new at all. And thus it goes on and on in its conclusions, except that in the higher formulas the identity fades out of sight (Mathematics Quotes)
The teacher pretended that algebra was a perfectly natural affair, to be taken for granted, whereas I didn’t even know what numbers were. Mathematics classes became sheer terror and torture to me. I was so intimidated by my incomprehension that I did not dare to ask any questions (Mathematics Quotes)
Mathematics alone make us feel the limits of our intelligence. For we can always suppose in the case of an experiment that it is inexplicable because we don’t happen to have all the data. In mathematics we have all the data and yet we don’t understand. We always come back to the contemplation of our human wretchedness. What force is in relation to our will, the impenetrable opacity of mathematics is in relation to our intelligence (Mathematics Quotes)
Poetry is a sort of inspired mathematics, which gives us equations, not for abstract figures, triangles, squares, and the like, but for the human emotions. If one has a mind which inclines to magic rather than science, one will prefer to speak of these equations as spells or incantations; it sounds more arcane, mysterious, recondite (Mathematics Quotes)
I am convinced that the act of thinking logically cannot possibly be natural to the human mind. If it were, then mathematics would be everybody’s easiest course at school and our species would not have taken several millennia to figure out the scientific method (Mathematics Quotes)
