Quotes by Math I've taught statistics, math courses and what I've found is that often if you teach them algebraically the formulas, you'll have one group of kids doing well. Robert Sternberg groupsmathkids I failed math; Einstein passed it. But he couldn’t paint and sculpt like me. So we all have these specialties, these strengths. Robert Toth like-mepaintmath What makes screenplays difficult are the things that require the most discipline and care and are just not seen by most people. I'm talking about movement - screenwriting is related to math and music, and if you zig here, you know you have to zag there. It's like the descriptions for a piece of music - you go fast or slow or with feeling. It's the same. Robert Towne disciplinemathtalking Although I am almost illiterate mathematically, I grasped very early in life that any one who can count to ten can count upward indefinitely if he is fool enough to do so. Robertson Davies foolenoughmath If you don't take enough math classes or science classes or writing intensive classes, you're not going to be prepared to compete in college or the workplace -- no matter what your diploma says. Rod Blagojevich collegemathwriting Mathematical Mark all mathematical heads, which be only and wholly bent to those sciences, how solitary they be themselves, how unfit to live with others, and how unapt to serve in the world. Roger Ascham learningmathscience For the things of this world cannot be made known without a knowledge of mathematics. Roger Bacon mathworldknowledge Mathematics is the gate and key to science. Roger Bacon gateskeysmath In the mathematics I can report no deficience, except that it be that men do not sufficiently understand the excellent use of the pure mathematics, in that they do remedy and cure many defects in the wit and faculties intellectual. For if the wit be too dull, they sharpen it; if too wandering, they fix it; if too inherent in the sense, they abstract it. Roger Bacon intellectualmathmen ... mathematics is absolutely necessary and useful to the other sciences. Roger Bacon mathematicsmath How are the germs made into a ring? By adding and multiplying. Roman Abramovich germsmademath The polynomial xn−1 is a force of nature. Roman Abramovich forces-of-natureforcemath I don't know if the police of naming statements would agree with this. Roman Abramovich agreepolicemath The trouble with integers is that we have examined only the very small ones. Maybe all the exciting stuff happens at really big numbers, ones we can't even begin to think about in any very definite way. Our brains have evolved to get us out of the rain, find where the berries are, and keep us from getting killed. Our brains did not evolve to help us grasp really large numbers or to look at things in a hundred thousand dimensions. Ronald Graham rainmaththinking Someone has remarked that 'An ideal math talk should have one proof and one joke and they should not be the same'. Ronald Graham should-havemathscience Math is sometimes called the science of patterns. Ronald Graham patternsmathsometimes The ultimate goal of mathematics is to eliminate all need for intelligent thought. Ronald Graham intelligenteducationmath Some people think that mathematics is a serious business that must always be cold and dry; but we think mathematics is fun, and we aren't ashamed to admit the fact. Why should a strict boundary line be drawn between work and play? Concrete mathematics is full of appealing patterns; the manipulations are not always easy, but the answers can be astonishingly attractive. Ronald Graham educationmathfun Natural selection is a mechanism for generating an exceedingly high degree of improbability. Ronald Fisher degreesstatisticsmath The excitement of learning separates youth from old age. As long as you're learning you're not old.
