“The only thing you can be sure of in this world is the multiplication table.” — L.M. Montgomery Copy Share Image
Calculating machines do sums better than even the cleverest people… As arithmetic has grown easier, it has come to be less respected. — Bertrand Russell Copy Share Image
“The multiplication table is more wise and more absolute than the ancient god, for the multiplication table never (do you understand—never) makes mistakes! There… — Yevgeny Zamyatin Copy Share Image
Sometimes, if I really strain my brain, I can even do multiplication. — Michael Grant Copy Share Image
your 90MHz Pentium won't have any trouble doing arithmetic (except for certain divisions). — Paul Dilascia Copy Share Image
Those who have a natural talent for calculation are generally quick-witted at every other kind of knowledge; and even the dull, if they have… — Plato Copy Share Image

How can you shorten the subject? That stern struggle with the multiplication table, for many people not yet ended in victory, how can you… — Stephen Leacock Copy Share Image
You know, I'm not terribly fast at my times tables, because that's not what I think mathematics is about. — Marcus du Sautoy 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
Fantastic truths perish slower... Sappho's moon will survive the moon of Armstrong. Different computations are necessary. — Odysseas Elytis Copy Share Image
ALGEBRA is a general Method of Computation by certain Signs and Symbols which have been contrived for this Purpose, and found convenient. — Colin Maclaurin Copy Share Image
If you roll dice, you know that the odds are one in six that the dice will come up on a particular side. So… — Nassim Nicholas Taleb Copy Share Image
If we suppose that many natural phenomena are in effect computations, the study of computer science can tell us about the kinds of natural… — Rudy Rucker Copy Share Image
The term, information at your fingertips, is to remind people what a broad role the personal computer will be playing. It's not a computation… — Bill Gates Copy Share Image
Some things, like the orbits of the planets, can be calculated far into the future. But that's atypical. In most contexts, there is a… — Martin Rees Copy Share Image
There is something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty. — Winston Churchill Copy Share Image
To me quantum computation is a new and deeper and better way to understand the laws of physics, and hence understanding physical reality as… — David Deutsch Copy Share Image
