Quotes by Math I think there's no way they should have to teach [math] now. We have computers. We no longer need to know why 3x = 2y/4. Rosie O'Donnell should-havemaththinking During my McGill years, I took a number of math courses, more than other students in chemistry. Rudolph A. Marcus mathnumbersyears Intellectually, perspective [drawing] is a breakthrough, because here, for the first time, the physical space we live in is being depicted as ifit were an abstract, mathematical space. A less obvious innovation due to perspective is that here, for the first time, people are actually drawing pictures of infinities. Rudy Rucker drawingteachingmath The world is colors and motion, feelings and thoughts and what does math have to do with it? Not much, if 'math' means being bored in high school, but in truth mathematics is the one universal science. Mathematics is the study of pure pattern and everything in the cosmos is a kind of pattern. Rudy Rucker mathmeanschool The study of infinity is much more than a dry academic game. The intellectual pursuit of the absolute infinity is, as Georg Cantor realized, a form of the soul's quest for God. Whether or not the goal is ever reached, an awareness of the process brings enlightenment. Rudy Rucker godeducationmath If men had known how to permeate the soul with mathematics in the right way in the arithmetic lessons during these past years, we should not now have Bolshevism in Eastern Europe. Rudolf Steiner mathmenpast The student of mathematics must get rid of all arbitrary thinking and follow purely the demands of thought. In thinking in this way, the laws of the spiritual world flow into him. This regulated thinking leads to the most spiritual truths. Rudolf Steiner spiritualmaththinking Music, to me, is not math or science. It is a language. Russell Malone languagemath Women, girls and young ladies tend to be as good or better at math than boys, but you didn't think that either. Sallie Krawcheck girlmathboys You have six math Ph.D. Caucasian gentlemen from the Northeast of the country, great. You put one more in the mix, you haven't added much. It's only when you add something different that you really are able to accomplish more. Sallie Krawcheck gentlemanmathcountry The most important steps that I followed were studying math and science in school. I was always interested in physics and astronomy and chemistry and I continued to study those subjects through high school and college on into graduate school. That's what prepared me for being an astronaut; it actually gave me the qualifications to be selected to be an astronaut. Sally Ride collegemathschool I liked math - that was my favorite subject - and I was very interested in astronomy and in physical science. Sally Ride favorite-subjectastronomymath I was good at math, math was my thing - but I was not nearly good enough to be an astrophysicist. I was way outta my league. I realized this very quickly. Sam Trammell leaguemathway If I am given a formula, and I am ignorant of its meaning, it cannot teach me anything, but if I already know it what does the formula teach me? Saint Augustine ignorantdoemath Six is a number perfect in itself, and not because God created the world in six days; rather the contrary is true. God created the world in six days because this number is perfect, and it would remain perfect, even if the work of the six days did not exist. Saint Augustine godworkmath The trouble with facts is that there are so many of them. Samuel McChord Crothers logicmathfacts It is not the job of mathematicians... to do correct arithmetical operations. It is the job of bank accountants. Samuil Shatunovsky arithmeticmathjobs When I was in graduate school in consumer science and math, all of the big companies had labs, all doing blue sky research. Sandra Lerner mathblueschool I think the films and the paintings erase each other. The paintings are extremely slow and constantly going on in the studio - they're constantly regenerating themselves in this slow, monotonous way that's a physical struggle and can be a pain in the ass. They're all based on very specific math and diagrams. And the films, when I'm making them, are very fast, very collaborative, with a lot of improvisation. Sarah Morris painstrugglemath I was never very good at math and science, to be honest, so it's fun to play a character that is so scientific and mathematical, and whose brain functions at such a high pace. The biggest difference is that Maura is very linear in her thinking and very logical. I'm not quite like that. I'm much more laid back and not quite so type A. That's the big difference.
