Quotes by Teaching All mathematicians share... a sense of amazement over the infinite depth and the mysterious beauty and usefulness of mathematics. Martin Gardner depthteachingmath Biographical history, as taught in our public schools, is still largely a history of boneheads; ridiculous kings and queens, paranoid political leaders, compulsive voyagers, ignorant general the flotsam and jetsam of historical currents. The men who radically altered history, the great scientists and mathematicians, are seldom mentioned, if at all.
