Quotes by Math Mathematics is one of the surest ways for a man to feel the power of thought and the magic of the spirit. Mathematics is one of the eternal truths and, as such, raises the spirit to the same level on which we feel the presence of God. Julio Cesar de Mello e Souza magicmathmen They look at what's more important, like subjects to help with the SAT's, etc. They miss that music is vital. It offers a break from a stressful day of science and math and it's different. Justin Guarini importantmissingmath DEMON MATH What is JUST in a world you've ripped in two as if there could be a half for me a half for you what is FAIR when there is nothing left to share what is YOURS when your pain is mine to bear this sad math is mine this mad path is mine subtract they say don't cry back to the desk try forget addition multiply and i reply this is why remainders hate division. Kami Garcia painhatemath The mathematician, carried along on his flood of symbols, dealing apparently with purely formal truths, may still reach results of endless importance for our description of the physical universe. Karl Pearson resultsmathmay You may end up with a different math, but you're entitled to your math. I'm entitled to the math. Karl Rove differentmathmay A mathematician who is not also something of a poet will never be a complete mathematician. Karl Weierstrass mathematicspoetmath I love music because it's so fecking brilliant. Music is math, and math is the structure of everything and pretty much perfect. Karen Marie Moning brilliantperfectmath We are social creatures to the inmost centre of our being. The notion that one can begin anything at all from scratch, free from the past, or unindebted to others, could not conceivably be more wrong. Karl Popper gratitudehumilitymath We never know what we are talking about. Karl Popper mathematical-logicmathtalking More than fifty years ago Sputnik dramatically raised the nation's awareness of what was lacking in science and math education in America. What we need to wake people up to now is the crisis in imagination and concern for the greater good. Katherine Paterson mathamericayears Quadratic reciprocity is the song of love in the land of prime numbers. Kato landmathsong It never happens that, when we go home and open the refrigerator, we see all infinitely many prime numbers there. Kato mathhomenumbers If we drop money, we are usually very sad if the money is big. But for example, if we drop 310 dollars, we can relax, because this is very small in the 3-adics. Kato relaxexamplemath Just as music comes alive in the performance of it, the same is true of mathematics. The symbols on the page have no more to do with mathematics than the notes on a page of music. They simply represent the experience. Keith Devlin pagesalivemath I certainly do care about measuring educational results. But what is an 'educational result?' The twinkling eyes of my students, together with their heartfelt and beautifully expressed mathematical arguments are all the results I need. Keith Devlin educationaleyemath Though the structures and patterns of mathematics reflect the structure of, and resonate in, the human mind every bit as much as do the structures and patterns of music, human beings have developed no mathematical equivalent to a pair of ears. Mathematics can only be "seen" with the "eyes of the mind". It is as if we had no sense of hearing, so that only someone able to sight read music would be able to appreciate its patterns and harmonies. Keith Devlin eyeteachingmath What makes it possible to learn advanced math fairly quickly is that the human brain is capable of learning to follow a given set of rules without understanding them, and apply them in an intelligent and useful fashion. Given sufficient practice, the brain eventually discovers (or creates) meaning in what began as a meaningless game. Keith Devlin fashioneducationmath There can be very little of present-day science and technology that is not dependent on complex numbers in one way or another. Keith Devlin technologymathnumbers Indeed, nowadays no electrical engineer could get along without complex numbers, and neither could anyone working in aerodynamics or fluid dynamics. Keith Devlin aerodynamicsteachingmath It was like being given a maths problem when your brain's exhausted, and you know there's some far-off solution, but you can't work up the energy even to give it a go. Something in me just gave up. Kazuo Ishiguro brainmathgiving«4041424344454647484950»
