101 Mathematical Quotes for You to Enjoy

I've always had a more spatial mind, mathematical, than literal. Portia Doubleday

Mind More Had Always Mathematical Than Literal Spatial

Some people are better at maths than others: no one thinks you can be 'taught' to be a mathematical genius. And no one thinks of teaching, in that context, as a kind of forcing of the will. But there seems to be an idea of writing as an intuitive pastime which is being dishonestly subjected to counterintuitive methods. Rachel Cusk

You People Writing Genius Better Will Some People Forcing Others Kind Intuitive Some Seems No-One Idea Context Methods Mathematical Subjected Maths Pastime Than Taught Being Which Teaching Thinks

All my family has very good mathematical abilities - like, so dorky. I was the dork then in school - on any maths exams I'd get 100%. I just knew how to do maths and most people would hate it, but for some reason it just came. Rebel Wilson

Good Family Hate People School Would Ability Some Exams Knew Like Most How Came Mathematical Maths Very Get Any Just Dork Dorky Then Reason

I am a Leaper: a person who - thanks to some mathematical errors tied to the cosmic interactions of Earth and Sun and bad math on the part of some old timers long ago - is lost in time, born on a day that simply doesn't exist three out of four years. Rick Tumlinson

Time Day Old Three Long Lost Thanks Earth Sun Out Bad Some Born Cosmic Part Simply Tied Am Math Years Exist Mathematical Errors Person Interactions Who Four

We have failed to protect science against speculative extensions of nature, continuing to assign physical and mathematical properties to hypothetical entities beyond what is observable in nature. Robert Lanza

Nature Science Physical Entities Properties Observable Hypothetical Failed Beyond Protect Continuing Mathematical Against Assign Extensions Speculative

Well, gauge theory is very fundamental to our understanding of physical forces these days. But they are also dependent on a mathematical idea, which has been around for longer than gauge theory has. Roger Penrose

The analysis of variance is not a mathematical theorem, but rather a convenient method of arranging the arithmetic. Ronald Fisher

Analysis Variance Rather Arithmetic Arranging Method Mathematical Convenient Theorem

I make fractals. They're like mathematical pictures. My stepdad is actually a rocket scientist, so in his free time, he gave me a fractal program for fun. He showed me how to use it when I was about nine or 10, and I made thousands of fractals. Ronda Rousey

There has to be a mathematical explanation for how bad that tie is. Russell Crowe

Bad Tie How Mathematical Explanation

String theory has had a long and wonderful history. It originated as a technique to try to understand the strong force. It was a calculational mechanism, a way of approaching a mathematical problem that was too difficult, and it was a promising way, but it was only a technique. It was a mathematical technique rather than a theory in itself. Sheldon Lee Glashow

History Wonderful Problem Strong Try Approaching Long Difficult Too String Way String Theory Promising Rather Only Had Force Understand Mathematical Itself Than Theory Mechanism Originated Technique

Here at Wisconsin we didn't get an undergraduate course in mathematical logic until the '60s. Stephen Cole Kleene

Logic Wisconsin Until Undergraduate Course Mathematical Get Here

The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing? Stephen Hawking

Science Universe Approach Constructing Bother Answer Does Go Mathematical Existing Questions Model Cannot Should Describe Usual Why

Most people don't have time to master the very mathematical details of theoretical physics. Stephen Hawking

Time People Physics Master Details Most Mathematical Very Theoretical

As a graduate student, I wrote a long paper connecting the dots between mathematical models of learning and language development in children. It was published in a major journal. Steven Pinker

Learning Language Long Paper Student Journal Development Between Major Wrote Mathematical Models Graduate Graduate Student Children Dots Connecting Published

I write in a mathematical manner. For some of my songs, I rhyme every syllable. It's a science. Tech N9ne

On the mathematical side, you could in principle build a society in which people were fulfilling their needs and flourishing as human beings in a higher way than in a consumer society, provided you had the right investments in the opportunity to flourish in less materialistic ways. Tim Jackson

Needs You People Opportunity Build Society Side Way Ways Could Higher Consumer Had Investments Principle Materialistic Were Provided Mathematical Than Human Human Beings Which Fulfilling Less Beings Right Flourish Flourishing

Things like the financial markets - a proper grounding in mathematics could help the common man. I believe that if people are more familiar with mathematical concepts... it can help deal with modern life, which is increasingly complex. Viswanathan Anand

Life Mathematics Man People Financial Believe Increasingly Markets Complex Financial Markets Proper More Could Like Concepts Deal Mathematical Familiar Modern Common Modern Life Common Man Which Help Grounding Things

I'm very artistic and creative, disorganised - ambitious, I would say, if that even makes sense. I'm definitely not the most mathematical person in the world; not scientific. I can't even work out a tip; it's really sad. But I've always thought, play up your strengths and let someone else handle your weaknesses. It's OK. Work together. Whitney Wolfe Herd

Sad Work Together Creative World Thought Sense Else Say OK Definitely Out Weaknesses Would Someone Most Makes Scientific Always Mathematical Up Ambitious Very Handle Person Artistic Tip Work Out Work Together Really Your Even Play Strengths

I would finally renounce my delusional hypotheses and revert to thinking of myself as a human of more conventional circumstances and return to mathematical research. John Forbes Nash, Jr.

Myself Research Thinking Finally Circumstances Would More Hypotheses Delusional Return Renounce Revert Mathematical Human Conventional

Indeed, it is a proven mathematical theorem that a doughnut is topologically distinct from a sphere. Simon Singh

Distinct Indeed Sphere Proven Mathematical Theorem Doughnut
