Assuming Quote by Benoit Mandelbrot

A book on the new physics, if not purely descriptive of experimental work, must essentially be mathematical.

— Paul Dirac

Among all of the mathematical disciplines the theory of differential equations is the most important... It furnishes the explanation of all those elementary manifestations…

— Sophus Lie

... nets, grids, and other types of calculus.

— Alan Watts

The emphasis on mathematical methods seems to be shifted more towards combinatorics and set theory - and away from the algorithm of differential equations…

— John von Neumann

A good deal of my research in physics has consisted in not setting out to solve some particular problem, but simply examining mathematical equations…

— Paul Dirac

But in spite of the obvious effectiveness of mathematics in physics, I have never heard of a good a prioriargument that the world must…

— Lee Smolin

In fact, the science of thermodynamics began with an analysis, by the great engineer Sadi Carnot, of the problem of how to build the…

— Richard P. Feynman

It is well known that the central problem of the whole of modern mathematics is the study of transcendental functions defined by differential equations.

— Felix Klein

In my free time I do differential and integral calculus.

— Karl Marx

I had a lot of trouble with engineers, because their whole background is learning from a functional point of view, and then learning how…

— Brian Eno

I began to realize something - to understand the future you have to understand physics. Physics of the last century gave us television, radio,…

— Michio Kaku

Before the discovery of quantum mechanics, the framework of physics was this: If you tell me how things are now, I can then use…
