The teacher manages to get along still with the cumbersome algebraic analysis, in spite of its difficulties and imperfections, and avoids the smooth infinitesimal… — Felix Klein Copy Share Image
Everyone knows what a curve is, until he has studied enough mathematics to become confused through the countless number of possible exceptions. — Felix Klein Copy Share Image
Thus, in a sense, mathematics has been most advanced by those who distinguished themselves by intuition rather than by rigorous proofs. — Felix Klein Copy Share Image
The presentation of mathematics in schools should be psychological and not systematic. The teacher, so to speak, should be a diplomat. He must take… — Felix Klein Copy Share Image

The greatest mathematicians, as Archimedes, Newton, and Gauss, always united theory and applications in equal measure. — Felix Klein Copy Share Image
Among mathematicians in general, three main categories may be distinguished; and perhaps the names logicians, formalists, and intuitionists may serve to characterize them. — Felix Klein Copy Share Image
