Geometry is the only science that it hath pleased God hitherto to bestow on mankind. — Thomas Hobbes Copy Share Image
That wee have of Geometry, which is the mother of all Naturall Science, wee are not indebted for it to the Schools. — Thomas Hobbes Copy Share Image
The study of geometry is a petty and idle exercise of the mind, if it is applied to no larger system than the starry… — Henry David Thoreau Copy Share Image
I am coming more and more to the conviction that the necessity of our geometry cannot be demonstrated, at least neither by, nor for,… — Carl Friedrich Gauss Copy Share Image
I think I still like science and art better, but geometry is a big improvement over algebra. — Laurie Hernandez Copy Share Image
I've always been passionate about geometry and the study of three-dimensional forms. — Erno Rubik Copy Share Image
[On Cantor's work:] The finest product of mathematical genius and one of the supreme achievements of purely intellectual human activity. — David Hilbert Copy Share Image
Who of us would not be glad to lift the veil behind which the future lies hidden; to cast a glance at the next… — David Hilbert Copy Share Image
How thoroughly it is ingrained in mathematical science that every real advance goes hand in hand with the invention of sharper tools and simpler… — David Hilbert Copy Share Image
Galileo was no idiot. Only an idiot could believe that science requires martyrdom - that may be necessary in religion, but in time a… — David Hilbert Copy Share Image
If I were to awaken after having slept for a thousand years, my first question would be: Has the Riemann hypothesis been proven? — David Hilbert Copy Share Image
Geometry, like arithmetic, requires for its logical development only a small number of simple, fundamental principles. These fundamental principles are called the axioms of… — David Hilbert Copy Share Image
A mathematical theory is not to be considered complete until you have made it so clear that you can explain it to the first… — David Hilbert Copy Share Image
Besides it is an error to believe that rigour is the enemy of simplicity. On the contrary we find it confirmed by numerous examples… — David Hilbert Copy Share Image
Is mathematics doomed to suffer the same fate as other sciences that have split into separate branches?... Mathematics is, in my opinion, an indivisible… — David Hilbert Copy Share Image
One must be able to say at all times--instead of points, straight lines, and planes--tables, chairs, and beer mugs — David Hilbert Copy Share Image
I have tried to avoid long numerical computations, thereby following Riemann's postulate that proofs should be given through ideas and not voluminous computations. — David Hilbert Copy Share Image
I do not want to presuppose anything as known. I see in my explanation in section 1 the definition of the concepts point, straight… — David Hilbert Copy Share Image
Geometry, which should only obey Physics, when united with it sometimes commands it. If it happens that the question which we wish to examine… — Jean le Rond d'Alembert Copy Share Image
. . . by natural selection our mind has adapted itself to the conditions of the external world. It has adopted the geometry most… — Henri Poincare Copy Share Image
Regular geometry, the geometry of Euclid, is concerned with shapes which are smooth, except perhaps for corners and lines, special lines which are singularities,… — Benoit Mandelbrot Copy Share Image
No one fully understands spinors. Their algebra is formally understood but their general significance is mysterious. In some sense they describe the 'square root'… — Michael Atiyah Copy Share Image
Cryptography has generated number theory, algebraic geometry over finite fields, algebra, combinatorics and computers. — Vladimir Arnold Copy Share Image
“This relationship, often called the Golden mean, has been discovered and rediscovered at various times in history as a unique proportion believed to have… — John Pile Copy Share Image
Let no-one ignorant of geometry enter. Said to have been inscribed above the door of Plato's Academy. — Plato Copy Share Image
I have an infamously low capacity for visualizing relationships, which made the study of geometry and all subjects derived from it impossible for me. — Sigmund Freud Copy Share Image
In order to give meaning to the world, one has to feel oneself involved in what he frames. This attitude requires concentration, a discipline… — Henri Cartier-Bresson Copy Share Image
While fractal geometry is often used in high-tech science, its patterns are surprisingly common in traditional African designs. — Ron Eglash Copy Share Image
