Algorithms Quote by Jack Edmonds

The older I get, the more I believe that at the bottom of most deep mathematical problems there is a combinatorial problem.

— Israel Gelfand

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

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

— Harold Davenport

At the present time there exist problems beyond our ability to solve, not because of theoretical difficulties, but because of insufficient means of mechanical…

— Howard Aiken

Mathematicians always like a deceptively difficult problem.

— Simon Singh

Mathematics is not yet ready for such problems.

— Paul Erdos

A mathematician experiments, amasses information, makes a conjecture, finds out that it does not work, gets confused and then tries to recover. A good…

There are lots of different ways that algorithms can go wrong, and what we have now is a system in which we assume because…

The greatest problem for mathematicians now is probably the Riemann Hypothesis.

— Andrew Wiles

Imagine life without any algorithms at all, you wouldn't be able to do anything. This is already completely encompassing. We have a habit of…

— Hannah Fry

Some mathematics problems look simple, and you try them for a year or so, and then you try them for a hundred years, and…

Pure mathematicians just love to try unsolved problems - they love a challenge.
