101 Mathematical Quotes for You to Enjoy

Mathematics has beauty and romance. It's not a boring place to be, the mathematical world. It's an extraordinary place; it's worth spending time there. Marcus du Sautoy

Time Mathematics World Worth Beauty Extraordinary Spending Spending Time Boring Mathematical Romance Place

I know this world is ruled by infinite intelligence. Everything that surrounds us- everything that exists - proves that there are infinite laws behind it. There can be no denying this fact. It is mathematical in its precision. Thomas A. Edison

Intelligence World Everything Ruled Laws Fact Know Proves Mathematical Exists Surrounds Denying Infinite Precision Behind Us

To my mathematical brain, the numbers alone make thinking about aliens perfectly rational. The real challenge is to work out what aliens might actually be like. Stephen Hawking

Work Alone Challenge Alien Thinking Out About Rational Perfectly Like Make Real Mathematical Brain Might Work Out Actually Numbers

One cannot really argue with a mathematical theorem. Stephen Hawking

Argue Mathematical Cannot Really Theorem

Evolution has ensured that our brains just aren't equipped to visualise 11 dimensions directly. However, from a purely mathematical point of view it's just as easy to think in 11 dimensions, as it is to think in three or four. Stephen Hawking

Three Think Our Dimensions Evolution Easy Visualise Purely Directly Point Point Of View Equipped However Mathematical Brains Just View Four

It is a curious historical fact that modern quantum mechanics began with two quite different mathematical formulations: the differential equation of Schroedinger and the matrix algebra of Heisenberg. The two apparently dissimilar approaches were proved to be mathematically equivalent. Richard P. Feynman

Algebra Dissimilar Approaches Fact Quantum Equation Quantum Mechanics Equivalent Proved Were Mathematical Mathematically Historical Historical Fact Matrix Began Curious Modern Quite Different Apparently Mechanics Differential Two

The blockchain does one thing: It replaces third-party trust with mathematical proof that something happened. Adam Draper

Trust Blockchain One Thing Proof Something Does Mathematical Happened Thing

I always thought it was strange when these artists like Kurt Cobain or whoever would get really famous and say, 'I don't understand why this is happening to me.' There is a mathematical formula to why you got famous. It isn't some magical thing that just started happening. Chad Kroeger

Me You Strange Thought Say Would Some Magical Like Understand Always Got Mathematical Kurt Kurt Cobain Get Just Artists Famous Happening Formula Really Whoever Why Thing Started

There exists, if I am not mistaken, an entire world which is the totality of mathematical truths, to which we have access only with our mind, just as a world of physical reality exists, the one like the other independent of ourselves, both of divine creation. Charles Hermite

Reality World Mind Creation Other Our Independent Ourselves Physical Totality Entire Entire World Only Both Divine Like Mistaken Access Am Mathematical Exists Truths Just Which

I realise that in this undertaking I place myself in a certain opposition to views widely held concerning the mathematical infinite and to opinions frequently defended on the nature of numbers. Georg Cantor

Myself Nature Concerning Frequently Opinions Undertaking Opposition Mathematical Infinite Realise Place Held Certain Views Widely Defended Numbers

In this age of specialization, I sometimes think of myself as the last 'generalist' in economics, with interests that range from mathematical economics down to current financial journalism. My real interests are research and teaching. Paul Samuelson

Myself Age Financial Sometimes Economics Research Down Think Range Journalism Real Mathematical Current Interests Teaching Specialization Last

The special sphere of finance within economics is the study of allocation and deployment of economic resources, both spatially and across time, in an uncertain environment. To capture the influence and interaction of time and uncertainty effectively requires sophisticated mathematical and computational tools. Robert C. Merton

Finance Time Economics Tools Resources Sphere Uncertain Uncertainty Both Economic Computational Allocation Environment Study Sophisticated Within Mathematical Effectively Influence Interaction Deployment Across Requires Special Capture

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. Roger Bacon

Mathematics Knowledge Science People Reckon Easiest Fact Count Almost Know Obvious Sciences How Mathematical Brain Which Us Requires Who Illiterate Things Utterly Innate Rejects

As far as I know, only a small minority of mathematicians, even of those with Platonist views, accept the idea that there may be mathematical facts which are true but unknowable. Abraham Robinson

Minority Unknowable Those Only Small Facts True Idea Know Accept Mathematical Mathematicians May As Far As Which Far Views Even

I have my hopes, & very distinct ones, too, of one day getting cerebral phenomena such that I can put them into mathematical equations: in short, a law or laws for the mutual actions of the molecules of the brain (equivalent to the law of gravitation for the planetary & sideral world). Ada Lovelace

Day World Law Too Distinct One Day Hopes Mutual Laws Put Equations Equivalent Mathematical Brain Very Getting Short Them Cerebral Planetary Molecules Actions Gravitation Phenomena

One of the things I've always liked about my husband is he's very good at lots of stuff. He was an English teacher when I met him. He wrote poetry and played the guitar. As time went on, he decided to go into economics, so he's very analytical and mathematical in addition to his artsy side. Ally Condie

Teacher Time Good Guitar Husband Economics Met Side Analytical Addition One Of The Things About Poetry He Stuff Liked Wrote Him Always Go His Mathematical Lots Very Decided English English Teacher Things Played

I tried reading Hilbert. Only his papers published in mathematical periodicals were available at the time. Anybody who has tried those knows they are very hard reading. Alonzo Church

Time Reading Those Papers Tried Only Knows Were His Mathematical Very Anybody Available Hard Who Published

There is a fluency and an ease with which true mastery and expertise always expresses itself, whether it be in writing, whether it be in a mathematical proof, whether it be in a dance that you see on stage, really in every domain. But I think the question is, you know, where does that fluency and mastery come from? Angela Duckworth

You Writing Dance Stage Every Think Fluency Ease See Proof True Come Know Mastery Does Always Mathematical Domain Question Itself Where Whether Expertise Which Really Expresses

As a man may be born with a mathematical faculty, and by training that faculty year after year may immensely increase his mathematical capacity, so may a man be born with certain faculties within him, faculties belonging to the soul, which he can develop by training and by discipline. Annie Besant

As for everything else, so for a mathematical theory: beauty can be perceived but not explained. Arthur Cayley

Beauty Else Everything Everything Else Perceived Mathematical Explained Theory
