Mathematical Quote by Stephen Hawking

“However, one cannot really argue with a mathematical theorem.”

— Stephen Hawking

The greatest unsolved theorem in mathematics is why some people are better at it than others.

— Adrian Mathesis

It is not so much whether a theorem is useful that matters, but how elegant it is.

— Stanislaw Ulam

The product of mathematics is clarity and understanding. Not theorems, by themselves. ... In short, mathematics only exists in a living community of mathematicians…

— William Thurston

Any good theorem should have several proofs, the more the better.

— Michael Atiyah

“The beauty of a mathematical theorem depends a great deal on its seriousness, as even in poetry the beauty of a line may depend…

— G.H. Hardy

Math does come easily to me, but I was always much more interested in what theorems imply about the world than in proving them.

— Antony Garrett Lisi

“Why fit in someones equation when you can create your own theorem.”

— Nivesh Raj

A mathematical proof must be perspicuous.

— Ludwig Wittgenstein

A felicitous but unproved conjecture may be of much more consequence for mathematics than the proof of many a respectable theorem.

— Atle Selberg

That's the problem with false proofs of true theorems; it's not easy to produce a counterexample.

— Jeffrey Shallit

The "seriousness" of a mathematical theorem lies, not in its practical consequences, which are usually negligible, but in the significance of the mathematical ideas…

— G. H. Hardy
