Math Quotes

Truth is ever to be found in the simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.

If you stop at general math, you're only going to make general math money.

A man is like a fraction whose numerator is what he is and whose denominator is what he thinks of himself. The larger the denominator, the smaller the fraction.

To understand the Universe, you must understand the language in which it's written, the language of Mathematics.

Mathematics reveals its secrets only to those who approach it with pure love, for its own beauty.

The laws of nature are but the mathematical thoughts of God.

Mathematical reasoning may be regarded.

If people do not believe that mathematics is simple, it is only because they do not realize how complicated life is.

And who can doubt that it will lead to the worst disorders when minds created free by God are compelled to submit slavishly to an outside will? When we are told to deny our senses and subject them to the whim of others? When people devoid of whatsoever competence are made judges over experts and are granted authority to treat them as they please? These are the novelties which are apt to bring about the ruin of commonwealths and the subversion of the state.

Geometry enlightens the intellect and sets one's mind right. All of its proofs are very clear and orderly. It is hardly possible for errors to enter into geometrical reasoning, because it is well arranged and orderly. Thus, the mind that constantly applies itself to geometry is not likely to fall into error. In this convenient way, the person who knows geometry acquires intelligence.

I often say that when you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind.

Small minds are concerned with the extraordinary, great minds with the ordinary.

"Ganas is all you need."

Young man, in mathematics you don't understand things. You just get used to them.

Geometry enlightlens the intellect and sets one's mind right

Mathematicians have tried in vain to this day to discover some order in the sequence of prime numbers, and we have reason to believe that it is a mystery into which the human mind will never penetrate.

Either mathematics is too big for the human mind or the human mind is more than a machine.

The chief aim of all investigations of the external world should be to discover the rational order and harmony which has been imposed on it by God and which He revealed to us in the language of mathematics.

Where there is matter, there is geometry.

The sciences do not try to explain, they hardly even try to interpret, they mainly make models. By a model is meant a mathematical construct which, with the addition of certain verbal interpretations, describes observed phenomena. The justification of such a mathematical construct is solely and precisely that it is expected to work-that is, correctly to describe phenomena from a reasonably wide area.

There are things which seem incredible to most men who have not studied Mathematics.

The mind loves the unknown. It loves images whose meaning is unknown, since the meaning of the mind itself is unknown.

The total subject of mathematics is clearly too broad for any of us. I do not think that any mathematician since Gauss has covered it uniformly and fully; even Hilbert did not and all of us are of considerably lesser width quite apart from the question of depth than Hilbert.

Mathematics is a more powerful instrument of knowledge than any other that has been bequeathed to us by human agency.
