"I count Maxwell and Einstein, Eddington and Dirac,……" — G. H. Hardy

"I count Maxwell and Einstein, Eddington and Dirac, among "real" mathematicians. The great modern achievements of applied mathematics have been in relativity and quantum mechanics, and these subjects are at present at any rate, almost as "useless" as the theory of numbers."
