Languages are true analytical methods. Algebra, the means of expression which is the simplest, most exact and best adapted to its object, is both…

— Antoine Lavoisier

As for methods I have sought to give them all the rigour that one requires in geometry, so as never to have recourse to…

— Augustin-Louis Cauchy

Like music or art, mathematical equations can have a natural progression and logic that can evoke rare passions in a scientist. Although the lay…

Great mathematics is achieved by solving difficult problems not by fabricating elaborate theories in search of a problem.

— Harold Davenport

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

Equations are just the boring part of mathematics. I attempt to see things in terms of geometry.

— Stephen Hawking

Now ... the basic principle of modern mathematics is to achieve a complete fusion [of] 'geometric' and 'analytic' ideas.

— Jean Dieudonne

Outside observers often assume that the more complicted a piece of mathematics is, the more mathematicians admire it. Nothing could be further from the…

If you come from mathematics, as I do, you realize that there are many problems, even classical problems, which cannot be solved by computation…

— Roger Penrose

The question you raise, 'How can such a formulation lead to computations?' doesn't bother me in the least! Throughout my whole life as a…

— Alexander Grothendieck

The power of equations lies in the philosophically difficult correspondence between mathematics, a collective creation of human minds, and an external physical reality. Equations…
