Archimedes, Newton, and Gauss, these three, are in a class by themselves among the great mathematicians, and it is not for ordinary… — Eric Temple Bell Copy Share Image
We mathematicians are used to the fact that our subject is widely misunderstood, perhaps more than any other subject (except perhaps linguistics). — Keith Devlin Copy Share Image
Mathematicians are stiff abstract guys. They'll tell you they don't need the physical world. But then when I show them my bubbles… — Tom Noddy Copy Share Image
The work of mathematicians on 'pure' problems has often yielded ideas that have waited to be rediscovered by physicists. The work of… — Dominic Cummings Copy Share Image
Mathematicians are like Frenchmen: whatever you say to them they translate into their own language and forthwith it is something entirely different. — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe Copy Share Image
