John Maeda growing-upmathart It has been pointed out already that no knowledge of probabilities, less in degree than certainty, helps us to know what conclusions are true, and that there is no direct relation between the truth of a proposition and its probability. Probability begins and ends with probability. John Maynard Keynes degreestruthmath Mathematical proofs, like diamonds, are hard and clear, and will be touched with nothing but strict reasoning.

John Milton umpiresdecisionmath If people do not believe that mathematics is simple, it is only because they do not realize how complicated life is. John von Neumann simplemathbelieve Young man, in mathematics you don't understand things. You just get used to them. John von Neumann mathmenscience The calculus was the first achievement of modern mathematics and it is difficult to overestimate its importance. I think it defines more unequivocally than anything else the inception of modern mathematics; and the system of mathematical analysis, which is its logical development, still constitutes the greatest technical advance in exact thinking. John von Neumann teachingmaththinking It is clear that the chief end of mathematical study must be to make the students think. John Wesley Young studentsmaththinking Viewed from the summit of reason, all life looks like a malignant disease and the world like a madhouse. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe mathlifelooks Phyllis explained to him, trying to give of her deeper self, 'Don't you find it so beautiful, math? Like an endless sheet of gold chains, each link locked into the one before it, the theorems and functions, one thing making the next inevitable. It's music, hanging there in the middle of space, meaning nothing but itself, and so moving...' John Updike mathbeautifulmoving The habit of analysis has a tendency to wear away the feelings. John Stuart Mill analysismathfeelings You can't plan the kind of deep love that results in children. Fatherhood was not a conscious decision. It was part of the wonderful ride I was on.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe statisticsmathworld I studied physics at Princeton when I was a college student, and my initial intention was to major in it but to also be a writer. What I discovered, because it was a very high-powered physics program with its own fusion reactor, was that to keep up with my fellow students in that program I would need to dedicate myself to math and physics all the time and let writing go. And I couldn't let writing go, so I let physics go and became a science fan and a storyteller. Jon Spaihts collegemathwriting The math helps you have better understanding and helps you have more creative ideas, but you can't replace the creative ideas Jonah Peretti creativemathideas The Mathematician's Shiva is a brilliant and compelling family saga full of warmth, pathos, history, and humor, not to mention a cast of delightfully quirky characters, and a math lesson or two; all together, a winning equation!

Jonathan Evison mathwritingcharacter One of my first experiences with the space program was with the memorial that was built for the Challenger. When I was in 7th grade my entire class spent the entire school year preparing to launch a spaceship all together. We all had our different jobs that we had to learn how to do, we learned the math that you needed, we learned the practical skills that you needed, and I thought that was really cool. So I think that if you can take a tragedy and find the gold in it and turn it into something positive, that's great. Jonathan Nolan mathjobsschool«3839404142434445464748»
