And I'll go even further and say that mathematics, this art of abstract pattern-making — even more than storytelling, painting, or music - is our most quintessentially human art form. This is what our brains do, whether we like it or not. We are bi...
Abel has left mathematicians enough to keep them busy for 500 years.
No more than these machines need the mathematician know what he does.
A mathematician believes that describing the speed of Mercury with equations amounts to science.
Mathematicians enjoy thinking about the simplest possible things, and the simplest possible things are imaginary.
One can imagine that the ultimate mathematician is one who can see analogies between analogies.
From the intrinsic evidence of his creation, the Great Architect of the Universe now begins to appear as a pure mathematician.
has left mathematicians enough to keep them busy for five hundred years.
Charlie's not your conventional mathematician... we sexed him up a little bit.
My interests started about in science and in mathematics; I always thought I was going to be a mathematician.
Programmers are not mathematicians, no matter how much we wish and wish for it.
So how does one go about proving something like this? It's not like being a lawyer, where the goal is to persuade other people; nor is it like a scientist testing a theory. This is a unique art form within the world of rational science. We are trying...
These estimates may well be enhanced by one from F. Klein (1849-1925), the leading German mathematician of the last quarter of the nineteenth century. 'Mathematics in general is fundamentally the science of self-evident things.' ... If mathematics is...
Mathematicians call it “the arithmetic of congruences.” You can think of it as clock arithmetic. Temporarily replace the 12 on a clock face with 0. The 12 hours of the clock now read 0, 1, 2, 3, … up to 11. If the time is eight o’clock, and y...
To the average mathematician who merely wants to know his work is securely based, the most appealing choice is to avoid difficulties by means of 's program. Here one regards mathematics as a formal game and one is only concerned with the question of ...
To the average mathematician who merely wants to know his work is securely based, the most appealing choice is to avoid difficulties by means of Hilbert's program. Here one regards mathematics as a formal game and one is only concerned with the quest...
I have hardly ever known a mathematician who was capable of reasoning.
Mathematicians didn't invent infinity until 1877. So they thought it was impossible that Africans could be using fractal geometry.
The mathematicians are the priests of the modern world.
I thought of computers as very low class. I thought of myself as a pure mathematician and was interested in partial differential equations and topology and things like that.
It would be better for the true physics if there were no mathematicians on earth.
