    QUOTES PERTAINING TO MATHEMATICS
    Thomas Aquinas : Since Mathematics is intermediate between natural and divine science, it is more certain than either of them; ...
    Bertrand Russell : Mathematics is, I believe, the chief source of the belief in eternal and exact truth, as well as in a intelligible super-sensible world.
    Augustine : Seven and three are ten, not only now but always; nor was there ever a time when seven and three were not ten, nor will there ever be a time seven and three will not be ten. I say, therefore, that this incorruptible truth of number is common to me and to any reasoning person whatsoever.
    John Adams : I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce, and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain.
    Galileo : Nature's great book is written in mathematics.
    George Washington : The science of figures, to ascertain degree, is not only indispensably requisite in every walk of civilized life; but the investigation of mathematical truths accustoms the mind to method and correctness in reasoning, and is an employment peculiarly worthy of rational beings. In a clouded state of existence, where some many things appear precarious to the bewildered research, it is here that the rational faculties find a firm foundation to rest upon. From the high ground of mathematical and philosophical demonstration, we are insensibly led to far more nobler speculations and sublimer meditations.

    Edward Everett (17941865), the first American to receive a PhD in math at Gottingen and co-speaker with Abraham Lincoln at Quotes from Women Mathematicians.
    http://facultystaff.vwc.edu/~trfanney/morequotes.htm
    Thich Nhat Hanh Coming Home: Jesus and the Buddha as Brothers , Riverhead Books, New York (1999)): Scientists like to speak in the language of mathematics. There are many good mathematicians among us. Those of us who look at reality and speak about reality in the language of mathematics find that there is no other language that can speak as well as mathematics does about reality. When a mathematician admires reality in terms of mathematics, he has the tendency to believe God is the best mathematician. Otherwise how could things be arranged in such a way? If God is not a mathematician, how could he create things perfectly in this way?
    To know and to understand are two different things. When you climb a ladder, unless you abandon the lower step, you will not be able to climb to a higher one. Knowledge is like that. If you are not ready to let go of your knowledge, you cannot get a deeper knowledge of the same thing. The history of science proves this. You discover a new thing that helps you to understand better. Yet you are aware that some day you'll have to let go of that thing in order to discover something deeper and higher.
    Understanding is a process. It is a living thing.

    Connor Math Quotes
    Connor's current homeschooling topic in math is subtraction with borrowing and addition with carrying. Today I overheard two choice quotes: Mom: What's one hundred minus sixty.
    Connor: [Thinks for a bit, mumbling out the work he's doing in his head.]Forty. It's amazing how much damage sixty can do to one hundred. Some time later: Connor: Hmmm...three minus nothing, so it's uncontested. Link Cosmos TrackBack

    http://jen.fluxcapacitor.net/cse/mthquot.html
    Some Math-related quotes that I found amusing:
    "Mathematicians are an aparatus for changing coffee into theorems." -Erdos (imagine an umlaut over the 'o' if it'll make you happy)
    "Mathematics may be defined as the subject where we never know what we are talking about, nor whether what we are saying is true." Bertrand Russell
    The rest of the quotes here are from Dr. Steve Cohn, who taught my Differential Equations class at UNL . Some of them are just funny things he said during math class rather than things directly about mathematics.
    My favorite: "Mathematicians believe that when you're yawning, you're not bored - you're enjoying yourself."
    Other Dr. Cohnisms:
    • "These are really contrived problems that you wouldn't see in science...but they are just as bad as what you see."
    • On algorithms that are easy but less than elegant: "It's kind of like using your blender for a cuisinart. If it works, fine. If not, well, maybe you broke it and you're going to open it up and look inside."
    • "It's like a minnow trying to swim with a 500 pound anchor around its neck. It just gets dragged down. ...I'm sorry, is that an unpleasant metaphor?"

    Math Quotes
    From Dr. Matt Richey, Chair of St. Olaf Mathematics: "Let's take a trip over to the x-t plane..." "e to the 2 times an arbitrary constant is pretty darn arbitrary." "Just remember that that change of variables is lurking in the background, and you'll never have to worry about it for the rest of your life, unless you want too..."
    "Or if it's on a test." "Whenever there's a question between me and Maple, who'se right" [smirk] "Hey! I'll use my document scanner... hope that doesn't cause a problem... WOW! Zoom! Bzzzzt!!!! Getting sick yet?" "It's as easy as 1, 2, 3... with a couple of details in between." "You just have to grit your teeth and make sure all the parts are in place." "I have a son right now who'se struggling with addition right now. Everybody's trying to teach him all sorts of things... we bought him a calculator. He gets the right number almost every time." "Fortunately, it's a first order linear differential equation. And, seeing its in the section on first order linear differential equations, it's fortunate." "That's a hard thing to do, to be simple."

    Here are some miscellaneous math quotes from my MA 362 professor this semester: "When it doesn't work, you messed up." "You could sit down with paper and a pencil on - what's that TV show? Survivor Island? which is rediculous - and compute this by hand." "Watch this!" "There's no such bubble!" "Go someplace and integrate that." "Today we're going to do some strange stuff, so hang on to your hats." "It's like a crazy piece of sausage!" Posted by driverkt at May 4, 2003 03:10 PM
