Mathematics Quotes
-
One does not, by knowing all the physical laws as we know them today, immediately obtain an understanding of anything much. I love only nature, and I hate mathematicians.
Richard Feynman
-
Mathematics is as little a science as grammar is a language.
Ernst Mayr
-
As someone told me later, writing papers was the punishment we had to endure for the thrill of discovering new mathematics. This was the first time I was so punished.
Edward Frenkel
-
India was the motherland of our race, and Sanskrit the mother of Europe's languages: she was the mother of our philosophy; mother, through the Arabs, of much of our mathematics; mother, through the Buddha, of the ideals embodied in Christianity; mother, through the village community, of self-government and democracy. Mother India is in many ways the mother of us all.
Will Durant
-
Mathematics directs the flow of the universe, lurks behind its shapes and curves, holds the reins of everything from tiny atoms to the biggest stars.
Edward Frenkel
-
The training one receives when one becomes a technician, like a data scientist - we get trained in mathematics or computer science or statistics - is entirely separated from a discussion of ethics.
Cathy O'Neil
-
This is not very important what I'm doing. I'm just proving something.
Richard Feynman
-
I don't agree with mathematics; the sum total of zeros is a frightening figure.
Stanislaw Jerzy Lec
-
People who wish to analyze nature without using mathematics must settle for a reduced understanding.
Richard Feynman
-
Some things that satisfy the rules of algebra can be interesting to mathematicians even though they don't always represent a real situation.
Richard Feynman
-
Dear reader, with this book I want to do for you what my teachers and mentors did for me: unlock the power and beauty of mathematics, and enable you to enter this magical world the way I did, even if you are the sort of person who has never used the words “math” and “love” in the same.

Perhaps, you know, new laws, new domains of potential openness are occurring as the universe ages, and complexity previously disallowed is now possible, and we are that complexity. We are nature moving out of its genetic phase - a phase under the control of chemical genes, which are physical structures, in to an epigenetic phase, a phase of culture ruled by codes, transformable culturally confined codes - mathematics, religion, philosophy, art, dance, humor.
Terence McKenna
