Nature is written in mathematical language.
I had made an empirical discovery and it carried all the weight of a mathematical proof.
I was never very good at math and science, to be honest, so it's fun to play a character that is so scientific and mathematical, and whose brain functions at such a high pace. The biggest difference is that Maura is very linear in her thinking and very logical. I'm not quite like that. I'm much more laid back and not quite so type A. That's the big difference.
It seems to me that all the evidence points to Apollonius as the founder of Greek mathematical astronomy.
Mathemagical mathematics combines the beauty of mathematical structure with the entertainment value of a trick.
A child is born on that day, and at that hour when the celestial rays are in mathematical harmony with his individual Karma. His horoscope is a challenging portrait, revealing his unalterable past and its probable future result. But the natal chart can be rightly interpreted only by men of intuitive wisdom - These are few.
Mathematical discoveries, small or great are never born of spontaneous generation They always presuppose a soil seeded with preliminary knowledge and well prepared by labour, both conscious and subconscious.
. . . and it is probably that there is some secret here which remains to be discovered.
The next grand extensions of mathematical physics will, in all likelihood, be furnished by quaternions.
However gemlike mathematical truths may be, research is but a human endeavor.
The more you know, the less sure you are.
I actually wanted to be an astronaut, but I don't have a mathematical brain.
Here look at me. I'm Charlie, the son you wrote off the books? Not that I blame you for it, but here I am, all fixed up better than ever. Test me. Ask me questions. I speak twenty languages, living and dead; I'm a mathematical whiz, and I'm writing a piano concerto that will make them remember me long after I'm gone.
All nature has come to expect from God a sense of orderliness. Whatever God does carries with it His fingerprint. And in the world around us His fingerprint of orderliness is evident to anybody who is honest with the facts. If you look at nature, you will discover a mathematical exactness. Without this precision, the entire world would be in utter confusion. One plus one always equals two no matter what part of the universe you happen to be in. And the laws of nature operate in beautiful harmony, a harmony that is ordered by God Himself.
You call a star a star, and say it is just a ball of matter moving on a mathematical course. But that is merely how you see it. By so naming things and describing them you are only inventing your own terms about them. And just as speech is invention about objects and ideas, so myth is invention about truth.
Raffiniert ist der Herr Gott, aber boshaft ist er nicht. God is subtle, but he is not malicious.
Without troublesome work, no one can have any concrete, full idea of what pure mathematical research is like or of the profusion of insights that can be obtained from it.
It seems that jazz is more cerebral and more mathematical in a sense.
Geometry is the only science that it hath pleased God hitherto to bestow on mankind.
all the standard equations of mathematical physics can be separated and solved in Kerr geometry.
