Only dead mathematics can be taught where the attitude of competition prevails: living mathematics must always be a communal possession. — Mary Everest Boole Copy Share Image
Mankind invented a system to cope with the fact that we are so intrinsically lousy at manipulating numbers. It's called the graph. — Charlie Munger Copy Share Image
Stan Ulam was lazy, ... He talked too much ... He was self-centered ... . He had an overpowering personality. — Gian-Carlo Rota Copy Share Image
A PhD in Mathematics is three years of guessing it wrong, plus one week of getting it right and writing a dissertation. — Keith Devlin Copy Share Image
Relationships were meant only for two people; unfortunately for some of us, math is not our favorite subject. — London Mond Copy Share Image
