And as for Mixed Mathematics, I may only make this prediction, that there cannot fail to be more kinds of them, as nature grows further disclosed.
Jesus was a pothead- long hair, beard, sandals, carpenter- do the math it all adds up. Living with twelve guys with no visible means of support.
I send my kids to school not only to learn how to read and write and do math, but also to develop socially.
The mathematician's best work is art, a high perfect art, as daring as the most secret dreams of imagination, clear and limpid. Mathematical genius and artistic genius touch one another.
Yes, I was really good in physics and in math.
Mathematics is not the rigid and rigidity-producing schema that the layman thinks it is; rather, in it we find ourselves at that meeting point of constraint and freedom that is the very essence of human nature.
What promotes math progress even more than new ideas are new technical tools and habits of thought that encapsulate existing ideas, so that insights of one generation become the instincts of the next.
How then shall mathematical concepts be judged? They shall not be judged. Mathematics is the supreme arbiter. From its decisions there is no appeal. We cannot change the rules of the game, we cannot ascertain whether the game is fair. We can only study the player at his game; not, however, with the detached attitude of a bystander, for we are watching our own minds at play.
Some things in life are not pleasant but they have to be done. For instance, German and maths.
To not know math is a severe limitation to understanding the world.
Mathematics is one of the surest ways for a man to feel the power of thought and the magic of the spirit. Mathematics is one of the eternal truths and, as such, raises the spirit to the same level on which we feel the presence of God.
Truth is ever to be found in the simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.
By keenly confronting the enigmas that surround us, and by considering and analyzing the observations that I had made, I ended up in the domain of mathematics. Although I am absolutely without training in the exact sciences, I often seem to have more in common with mathematicians than with my fellow artists.
A work of morality, politics, criticism will be more elegant, other things being equal, if it is shaped by the hand of geometry.
Geometry is the art of correct reasoning from incorrectly drawn figures.
O Logic: born gatekeeper to the Temple of Science, victim of capricious destiny: doomed hitherto to be the drudge of pedants: come to the aid of thy master, Legislation
When introduced at the wrong time or place, good logic may be the worst enemy of good teaching.
The Handmaiden of the Sciences.
Math does come easily to me, but I was always much more interested in what theorems imply about the world than in proving them.
To deny, to believe, and to doubt well are to a man as the race is to a horse.
