Mathematics Quotes

I appreciate and enjoy mathematics and science and all that side of things. I definitely have that side of me even though I’m not by any means an expert, but I love reading about physics and math and that kind of stuff. I wish I knew more than I did. I mean, I read books written for laymen, not textbooks or anything Picture Quote #1

I was fortunate to grow up in a middle-class home with two hardworking parents who enjoyed both reading and mathematics Picture Quote #1

Without mathematics, there’s nothing you can do. Everything around you is mathematics. Everything around you is numbers Picture Quote #1

One of the chief duties of the mathematician in acting as an advisor ... is to discourage ... from expecting too much from mathematics Picture Quote #1

The theory of numbers, more than any other branch of mathematics, began by being an experimental science. Its most famous theorems have all been conjectured, sometimes a hundred years or more before they were proved; and they have been suggested by the evidence of a mass of computations Picture Quote #1

Mathematics is a part of physics. Physics is an experimental science, a part of natural science. Mathematics is the part of physics where experiments are cheap Picture Quote #1

I didn’t feel comfortable at first with pure mathematics, or as a professor of pure mathematics. I wanted to do a little bit of everything and explore the world Picture Quote #1

You know, I’m not terribly fast at my times tables, because that’s not what I think mathematics is about Picture Quote #1

My main concern with the condition of mathematics in high school is that there’s a lot of fear involved! Math is not, generally speaking, presented in a fun way. The concepts, as I see them, are fun, and that’s the way I’d like to convey them myself Picture Quote #1

Not a few other very eminent and scholarly men made the same request, urging that I should no longer through fear refuse to give out my work for the common benefit of students of Mathematics Picture Quote #1

I think I realized very early on that you can spend a lot of time constructing a really perfect scene in final draft and just end up throwing it away because you didn’t figure out that mathematics of the story first Picture Quote #1

Do not trust financial market risk models. Despite the predilection of some analysts to model the financial markets using sophisticated mathematics, the markets are governed by behavioral science, not physical science Picture Quote #1

No price is too high to pay to try to make the financial system go on a little bit longer. But ultimately it can’t be saved, because of the mathematics that are involved Picture Quote #1

I have been running maths clubs for children completely free. In my building in Bangalore, I conduct maths clubs for several months, and every child who attended the club was poor in mathematics and is now showing brilliant results Picture Quote #1

Mathematics in general is fundamentally the science of self-evident things Picture Quote #1

The training one receives when one becomes a technician, like a data scientist - we get trained in mathematics or computer science or statistics - is entirely separated from a discussion of ethics Picture Quote #1

A PhD in Mathematics is three years of guessing it wrong, plus one week of getting it right and writing a dissertation Picture Quote #1

I wasn’t actually very naturally good at economics. My brain doesn’t work very well, in terms of mathematics Picture Quote #1

I tell you that studying humanities in high school is more important than mathematics - mathematics is too sharp an instrument, no good for kids Picture Quote #1

We in science are spoiled by the success of mathematics. Mathematics is the study of problems so simple that they have good solutions Picture Quote #1

As a graduate student I studied mathematics fairly broadly, and I was fortunate enough, besides developing the idea which led to ‘Non-Cooperative Games,’ also to make a nice discovery relating to manifolds and real algebraic varieties Picture Quote #1

There are four great sciences, without which the other sciences cannot be known nor a knowledge of things secured ... Of these sciences the gate and key is mathematics ... He who is ignorant of this [mathematics] cannot know the other sciences nor the affairs of this world Picture Quote #1

I didn’t work especially hard at mathematics at school, because I knew that’s what I’d be doing later Picture Quote #1

The lack of real contact between mathematics and biology is either a tragedy, a scandal or a challenge, it is hard to decide which Picture Quote #1
