Mathematics Quotes

I became an atheist because, as a graduate student studying quantum physics, life seemed to be reducible to second-order differential equations. Mathematics, chemistry and physics had it all. And I didn’t see any need to go beyond that Picture Quote #1

The broader the chess player you are, the easier it is to be competitive, and the same seems to be true of mathematics - if you can find links between different branches of mathematics, it can help you resolve problems. In both mathematics and chess, you study existing theory and use that to go forward Picture Quote #1

What makes this story so remarkable is that throughout my early childhood I had ongoing learning difficulties, particularly in mathematics. I struggled to learn the multiplication table, and no matter how hard I tried, I simply couldn’t remember 6 times 7 or 7 times 8 Picture Quote #1

There is a slam-dunk case for extending foreign language teaching to children aged five. Just as some people have taken a perverse pride in not understanding mathematics, so we have taken a perverse pride in the fact that we do not speak foreign languages, and we just need to speak louder in English Picture Quote #1

Many of our young people spend four years getting very expensive college degrees. But our universities fail them and the nation if they continue to graduate students with expertise in biochemistry, mathematics or history without teaching them to think about what problems are important and why Picture Quote #1

I went to a liberal arts college, and as part of my background, I was majoring in mathematics and physics Picture Quote #1

I was always told that I was good in mathematics, and I guess my grades and standardized test scores supported that. My worst subjects were those that generally involved a lot of reading - English and history. So, having good test scores in math and mediocre ones in reading, I was naturally advised to major in engineering in college Picture Quote #1

When I was a college student at Yale, I was studying physics and mathematics and was absolutely intent on becoming a theoretical physicist Picture Quote #1

This is a global fight to get the right people in the right place and we’re talking about people with PhDs in engineering, computer science, mathematics Picture Quote #1

Many people suggest using mathematics to talk to the aliens, and Dutch computer scientist Alexander Ollongren has developed an entire language (Lincos) based on this idea. But my personal opinion is that mathematics may be a hard way to describe ideas like love or democracy Picture Quote #1

The abstract analysis of the world by mathematics and physics rests on the concepts of space and time Picture Quote #1

My father said he did have the mathematics of mind physics, or the physics of consciousness Picture Quote #1

I was a good student with mathematical ability and interests. As such, I took the usual college preparatory program in high school for one looking to become an engineer: all the available courses in mathematics and science Picture Quote #1

The only reason psychology students don’t have to do more and harder mathematics than physics students is because the mathematicians haven’t yet discovered ways of dealing with problems as hard as those in psychology Picture Quote #1

Mathematics is only the art of saying the same thing in different words Picture Quote #1

Mathematics is the art of giving the same name to different things. [As opposed to the quotation: Poetry is the art of giving different names to the same thing] Picture Quote #1

Great mathematics is achieved by solving difficult problems not by fabricating elaborate theories in search of a problem Picture Quote #1

Very little mathematics has direct applications - though fortunately most of it has plenty of indirect ones Picture Quote #1

We have these amazing gifts of music and mathematics and painting and Olympic running. I mean, we’re the animal that is best of all the animals at long-distance running. Why? It is quite amazing. Superfluous gifts you don’t really need to survive Picture Quote #1

A nation may be born in a day, but the great truths which make for the glory and uplift of the race only through long ages permeate and control humanity. We must have the divine patience and understand the divine mathematics of a thousand years as one day Picture Quote #1

To me, mathematics is like playing the violin. Some people can do it - others can’t. If you don’t have it, then there’s no point in pretending Picture Quote #1

Journalists say that when a dog bites a man, that is not news, but when a man bites a dog, that is news ... Thanks to the mathematics of combinatorics, we will never run out of news Picture Quote #1

If men had known how to permeate the soul with mathematics in the right way in the arithmetic lessons during these past years, we should not now have Bolshevism in Eastern Europe Picture Quote #1

My elementary education was at Christ Church infant school and St. Stephen’s junior school. At St. Stephen’s, I encountered my first real mentor, the headmaster Mr. Broakes. He must have spotted something unusual in me, for he spent lots of time encouraging my interest in mathematics Picture Quote #1

I haven’t had any formal education. Through the grace of God, I am gifted in mathematics and the English language Picture Quote #1

There are fields of scientific work...which have been explored from the different sides of pure mathematics, statistics, electrical engineering, and neurophysiology...in which every single notion receives a separate and different name from each group, and in which important work has been triplicated or quadruplicated, while still other important work is delayed by the unavailability in one field of results that may have already become classical in the next field Picture Quote #1

Information theory began as a bridge from mathematics to electrical engineering and from there to computing Picture Quote #1

The liver, that great maroon snail: No wave of emotion sweeps it. Neither music nor mathematics gives it pause in its appointed tasks Picture Quote #1

I love music. I do play. It’s like mathematics, and it’s also emotional. It’s nice to play, for no other reason than just to play Picture Quote #1

It’s fine to work on any problem, so long as it generates interesting mathematics along the way - even if you don’t solve it at the end of the day Picture Quote #1
