Mathematics Quotes

I sort of was good at writing essays. I was never very good at mathematics, and I was never very good at algebra. I loved science, but I wasn’t sure of it Picture Quote #1

In mathematics the art of proposing a question must be held of higher value than solving it Picture Quote #1

In some parts of life, like mathematics and science, yeah, I was a genius. I would top all the top scores you could ever measure it by Picture Quote #1

My interests started about in science and in mathematics; I always thought I was going to be a mathematician Picture Quote #1

The object of pure physics is the unfolding of the laws of the intelligible world; the object of pure mathematics that of unfolding the laws of human intelligence Picture Quote #1

This book is about physics and its about physics and its relationship with mathematics and how they seem to be intimately related and to what extent can you explore this relationship and trust it Picture Quote #1

We must always emphasize research and development of science and mathematics, and I can think of no better way to achieve this than through our future in space Picture Quote #1

Mathematics are the result of mysterious powers which no one understands, and which the unconscious recognition of beauty must play an important part. Out of an infinity of designs a mathematician chooses one pattern for beauty’s sake and pulls it down to earth Picture Quote #1

Language is remarkable, except under the extreme constraints of mathematics and logic, it never can talk only about what it’s supposed to talk about but is always spreading around Picture Quote #1

As the existence of a corps of professors of mathematics is peculiar to our navy, as well as an apparent, perhaps a real, anomaly, some account of it may be of interest Picture Quote #1

I finally reached the conclusion that mathematics was the study I was best fitted to follow, though I did not clearly see in what way I should turn the subject to account Picture Quote #1

The most painful thing about mathematics is how far away you are from being able to use it after you have learned it Picture Quote #1

At the age of 12, I developed an intense interest in mathematics. On exposure to algebra, I was fascinated by simultaneous equations and read ahead of the class to the end of the book Picture Quote #1

I had changed from being a mathematician to a practicing scientist. I was increasingly embarassed that I could no longer follow some of the more modern branches of pure mathematics Picture Quote #1

Reading music is something that’s inherently hateful to me. It makes music like mathematics Picture Quote #1

I could never accept findings based almost exclusively on mathematics. It ain’t ignorance that causes all the trouble in this world. It’s the things people know that ain’t so Picture Quote #1

All science requires mathematics. The knowledge of mathematical things is almost innate in us. This is the easiest of sciences, a fact which is obvious in that no one’s brain rejects it; for laymen and people who are utterly illiterate know how to count and reckon Picture Quote #1

If mathematics is to be understood widely, we need to emphasise its elegance and its applications. Sometimes it seems that universities want to emphasise how difficult it is! Picture Quote #1

Guided only by their feeling for symmetry, simplicity, and generality, and an indefinable sense of the fitness of things, creative mathematicians now, as in the past, are inspired by the art of mathematics rather than by any prospect of ultimate usefulness Picture Quote #1

It is the perennial youthfulness of mathematics itself which marks it off with a disconcerting immortality from the other sciences Picture Quote #1

The mistakes and unresolved difficulties of the past in mathematics have always been the opportunities of its future Picture Quote #1

Apart from two periods of intense study, of music between the ages of 12 and 14 and of mathematics between the ages of 14 and 16, I coasted, daydreaming, through most of my school years Picture Quote #1

It is not of the essence of mathematics to be conversant with the ideas of number and quantity Picture Quote #1

For scholars and laymen alike it is not philosophy but active experience in mathematics itself that can alone answer the question: What is mathematics? Picture Quote #1

Advertisements

Mathematics as an expression of the human mind reflects the active will, the contemplative reason, and the desire for aesthetic perfection. Its basic elements are logic and intuition, analysis and construction, generality and individuality. Though different traditions may emphasize different aspects, it is only the interplay of these antithetic forces and the struggle for their synthesis that constitute the life, usefulness, and supreme value of mathematical science Picture Quote #1

The traditional mathematician recognizes and appreciates mathematical elegance when he sees it. I propose to go one step further, and to consider elegance an essential ingredient of mathematics: if it is clumsy, it is not mathematics Picture Quote #1

To those who ask what the infinitely small quantity in mathematics is, we answer that it is actually zero. Hence there are not so many mysteries hidden in this concept as they are usually believed to be Picture Quote #1

It may be true, that men, who are mere mathematicians, have certain specific shortcomings, but that is not the fault of mathematics, for it is equally true of every other exclusive occupation Picture Quote #1

The art of doing mathematics consists in finding that special case which contains all the germs of generality Picture Quote #1

Young man, in mathematics you don’t understand things. You just get used to them Picture Quote #1
