The mathematics of quantum mechanics very accurately describes how our universe works. — Antony Garrett Lisi Copy Share Image
This paper gives wrong solutions to trivial problems. The basic error,however, is not new. — Clifford Truesdell Copy Share Image
Education is not an end to itself. You need to know algebra but also how to navigate the world. — Sal Khan Copy Share Image
“like literary fiction, mathematical imagination entertains pure possibilities.” — Daniel Tammet Copy Share Image
I accept no principles of physics which are not also accepted in mathematics. — Rene Descartes Copy Share Image
“We mathematicians understand that without the education of children, the economy cannot grow, and the world would starve from ignorance.” — V.M.Robinson Copy Share Image
Quantum physics is a bit of a passion of mine. It's extraordinary. There's a branch of mathematics that is based on lunacy,… — Bob Hoskins Copy Share Image
Everybody who reasons carefully about anything is making a contribution ... and if you abstract it away and send it to the… — Richard P. Feynman Copy Share Image
I think part of the appeal of mathematical logic is that the formulas look mysterious - you write backward Es! — Hilary Putnam Copy Share Image
I haven't had any formal education. Through the grace of god, I am gifted in mathematics and the English language. — Shakuntala Devi Copy Share Image
The sex illusion is not a fixed quantity: not what mathematicians call a constant. It varies from zero in my wife's case… — George Bernard Shaw Copy Share Image
Mathematics without natural history is sterile, but natural history without mathematics is muddled. — John Maynard Smith Copy Share Image
Hits and runs are the numbers that really impress me. It means you're contributing a lot to your team by being in… — Trea Turner Copy Share Image
One cannot escape the feeling that these mathematical formulas have an independent existence and an intelligence of their own, that they are… — Heinrich Hertz Copy Share Image
I went to study electronic engineering and computer science because I was good at math and my father told me it is… — Ayelet Shaked Copy Share Image
“If you can't test it, it's not theorics -- it's metatheorics. A branch of philosophy. So, if you want to think of… — Neal Stephenson Copy Share Image
It could be that the methods needed to take the next step may simply be beyond present day mathematics. Perhaps the methods… — Andrew Wiles Copy Share Image
We have a closed circle of consistency here: the laws of physics produce complex systems, and these complex systems lead to consciousness,… — Roger Penrose Copy Share Image
An announcement of [Christopher] Zeeman's lecture at Northwestern University in the spring of 1977 contains a quote describing catastrophe theory as the… — Stephen Smale Copy Share Image
Why don't we want our children to learn to do mathematics? Is it that we don't trust them, that we think it's… — Paul Lockhart Copy Share Image
“The issue, then, is not, What is the best way to teach? but, What is mathematics really all about?... Controversies about…teaching cannot… — Reuben Hersh Copy Share Image
