Quotes by Math I'm a good example of wanting to apologize only for my precise share of a problem--as I calculate it, of course--and I expect my husband Steve to apologize for his share, also as I calculate it. Since we're not always of one mind on the math, it can lead to the theater of the absurd. Harriet Lerner husbandmindmath There was a survey done a few years ago that affected me greatly. it was discovered that intelligent people either estimate their intelligence accurately or slightly underestimate themselves, but stupid people overestimate their intelligence and by huge margins. (And these were things like straight up math tests, not controversial IQ tests.) Harvey Pekar intelligentstupidmath Australian schools have cool uniforms. I wish I had to wear a woven straw hat for maths. Harry Styles wishmathschool Math - it's not my best subject. Heather O'Rourke subjectsmath Math can explain the reason there's one out of four chance that I'd have blue eyes. But it doesn't explain why me. Heidi eyemathblue The mathematician has reached the highest rung on the ladder of human thought. Havelock Ellis laddersmathscience One cannot escape the feeling that these mathematical formulas have an independent existence and an intelligence of their own, that they are wiser than we are, wiser even than their discoverers. Heinrich Hertz independentmathfeelings When will it begin, anyway?" Sirus held his gaze for a moment, his eyes full of concern- a concern that Joss didn't understand. "Probably sooner than you're ready for." "When's that?" "Well." Sirus sighed, as if doing the math in his head."It'll take us about three minutes to gather this stuff and get to the cabin, and another two or three for Abraham to realize you're here. So I'd say you have about seven more minutes of freedom left. Heather Brewer eyemathtwo A math lecture without a proof is like a movie without a love scene. This talk has two proofs. Hendrik Lenstra lecturesmathtwo The only teaching that a professor can give, in my opinion, is that of thinking in front of his students. Henri Lebesgue teachingeducationmath ... if one were to refuse to have direct, geometric, intuitive insights, if one were reduced to pure logic, which does not permit a choice among every thing that is exact, one would hardly think of many questions, and certain notions ... would escape us completely. Henri Lebesgue choicesmaththinking In my opinion a mathematician, in so far as he is a mathematician, need not preoccupy himself with philosophy-an opinion, moreover, which has been expressed by many philosophers. Henri Lebesgue philosophicalmathphilosophy It is by logic that we prove, but by intuition that we discover. To know how to criticize is good, to know how to create is better. Henri Poincare intuitionlogicmath The scientist does not study nature because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it, and he delights in it because it is beautiful.
