Geometry is the art of correct reasoning from incorrectly drawn figures. — Henri Poincare Copy Share Image
Mathematics is the art of accurate reasoning on inaccurately-drawn figures... let that be our motto. — Arthur Mattuck Copy Share Image
Geometry enlightens the intellect and sets one's mind right. All of its proofs are very clear and orderly. It is hardly possible for errors… — Ibn Khaldun Copy Share Image
Geometry is one and eternal shining in the mind of God. That share in it accorded to men is one of the reasons that… — Johannes Kepler Copy Share Image
One geometry cannot be more true than another; it can only be more convenient. Geometry is not true, it is advantageous. — Robert M. Pirsig Copy Share Image
One geometry cannot be more true than another; it can only be more convenient. — Henri Poincare Copy Share Image
In geometry I find certain imperfections which I hold to be the reason why this science, apart from transition into analytics, can as yet… — Nikolai Lobachevsky Copy Share Image
Pedantry and mastery are opposite attitudes toward rules. To apply a rule to the letter, rigidly, unquestioningly, in cases where it fits and in… — George Polya Copy Share Image
A GREAT discovery solves a great problem but there is a grain of discovery in any problem. — George Polya Copy Share Image
Where should I start? Start from the statement of the problem. ... What can I do? Visualize the problem as a whole as clearly… — George Polya Copy Share Image
In order to translate a sentence from English into French two things are necessary. First, we must understand thoroughly the English sentence. Second, we… — George Polya Copy Share Image
Look around when you have got your first mushroom or made your first discovery: they grow in clusters. — George Polya Copy Share Image
I am too good for philosophy and not good enough for physics. Mathematics is in between. — George Polya Copy Share Image
Solving problems is a practical art, like swimming, or skiing, or playing the piano: you can learn it only by imitation and practice. — George Polya Copy Share Image
An idea which can be used only once is a trick. If one can use it more than once it becomes a method. — George Polya Copy Share Image
To teach effectively a teacher must develop a feeling for his subject; he cannot make his students sense its vitality if he does not… — George Polya Copy Share Image
The world is anxious to admire that apex and culmination of modern mathematics: a theorem so perfectly general that no particular application of it… — George Polya Copy Share Image
The first rule of discovery is to have brains and good luck. The second rule of discovery is to sit tight and wait till… — George Polya Copy Share Image
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 Copy Share Image
In the broad light of day mathematicians check their equations and their proofs, leaving no stone unturned in their search for rigour. But, at… — Michael Atiyah Copy Share Image
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 Copy Share Image
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 Copy Share Image
There's no doubt that scientific training helps many authors to write better science fiction. And yet, several of the very best were English majors… — David Brin Copy Share Image
If God has made the world a perfect mechanism, He has at least conceded so much to our imperfect intellect that in order to… — Max Born Copy Share Image
What is the origin of the urge, the fascincation that drives physicists, mathematicians, and presumably other scientists as well? Psychoanalysis suggests that it is… — David Ruelle Copy Share Image
Man's destiny is to know, if only because societies with knowledge culturally dominate societies that lack it. Luddites and anti-intellectuals do not master the… — E. O. Wilson Copy Share Image
The difficulty involved in the proper and adequate means of describing changes in continuous deformable bodies is the method of differential equations. ... They… — Max Born Copy Share Image
In order to solve this differential equation you look at it until a solution occurs to you. — George Polya Copy Share Image
The principle is so perfectly general that no particular application of it is possible. — George Polya Copy Share Image
Knowing what is big and what is small is more important than being able to solve partial differential equations. — Stanislaw Ulam Copy Share Image
