Frederick the Great (1712-1786)

Some Math Quotes
Here are some quotations about mathematics, culled from various sources and in no particular order. (Thanks to those who passed some on, especially Jim Propp!) I make no guarantee that the quotes are correct or properly attributed, but if you spot any errors or have more to contribute please send them to Stefan Bilaniuk No doubt but magic may do much in this;
For he that reads but mathematic rules
Shall find conclusions that avail to work
Wonders that pass the common sense of men. Robert Greene, in Friar Bacon and Friar Bungay
Algebra Prayer
Our Professor, which doth have tenure,
Feared be thy name.
Thy sets partition,
Thy maps commute,
In groups as in vector spaces.
Give us this day our daily notation,
And forgive us our obtuseness,
As we forgive tutors who canot help us. Lead us not into Lye rings, But deliver us from eigenvalues, For thine is the logic, the notation, and the accent, That confuses us forever. Amen. An anonymous University of Toronto mathematics student. "ARITHMETICUS" Virginia, Nevada. "If it would take a cannonball 3 1/8 seconds to travel four miles, and 3 3/8 seconds to travel the next four, and 3 5/8 to travel the next four, and if its rate of progress continued to diminish in the same ratio, how long would it take to go fifteen hundred million miles?"

e-zgeometry Mathematical Quote of the Week Current Quote Past Quotes Math Cartoons Current e-z Math Quote of the Week It is not easy to write about mathematics. There is, first of all, the motivating force for mathematics which is beauty , and then the goal of mathematics which is truth . And finally, there is the importance of mathematics resulting from what the mathematical truths tell us about reality
(Jerry P. King - 1992) Go to Top Past e-z Math Quotes of the Week Geometry enlightens the intellect and sets one's mind right. All of its proofs are very clear and orderly. It is hardly possible for errors to enter into geometrical reasoning, because it is well arranged and orderly. Thus, the mind that constantly applies itself to geometry is not likely to fall into error. In this convenient way, the person who knows geometry acquires intelligence.
Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406) Go to Top Whatever your difficulties in mathematics,
I can assure you mine are far greater.
Albert Einstein Go to Top Mathematics, as much as music or any other art, is one of the means by which we rise to a complete self-consciousness. The significance of Mathematics resides precisely in the fact that it is an art; by informing us of the nature of our own minds it informs us of much that depends on our minds.
J.W.N Sullivan

I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. John Adams If it's incomprehensible, it's mathematics. Bennett Cern I protest against the use of infinite magnitude ..., which is never permissible in mathematics. Carl Friedrich Gauss And for mathematical science, he that doubts their certainty hath need of a dose of hellebore. Joseph Glanvill an excessive study of mathematics absolutely incapacitates the mind... Sir William Hamilton Round numbers are always false. Samuel Johnson If I had inherited a fortune I should probably not have cast my lot with mathematics. Joseph-Louis Lagrange If only gravity were working, the path would be symmetrical, it is the wind resistance that produces the tragic curve.

It may will be doubted whether, in all the range of science, there is any field so fascinating to the explorer-so rich in hidden treasures-so fruitful in delightful surprises-as Pure Mathematics. -Lewis Carroll (Charles Dodgson) (1832-1898) Geometry in every proposition speaks a language which experience never dares to utter; and indeed of which she but halfway comprehends the meaning. -William Whewell The discoveries of Newton have done more for England and for the race, than has been done by whole dynasties of British monarchs. -Thomas Hill He is unworthy of the name of man who does not know that the diagonal of a square is incommensurable with its side. -Plato ...for no human inquiry can be called science unless it pursues its path through mathematical exposition and demonstration. -Leonardo da Vinci The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science.

    and I'll take down the quote(s). If you find yourself amused, I'm doing something right. Some of these are taken from professors whose classes I enjoyed and who had the good taste to be funny in lecture, and from other random sources. More will appear as they present themselves, and feel free to send them in
    "Standard deviation? I don't do that stuff. I'm actually a group theorist."Prof. D. Wise, in lecture (Math 221, Spring 1998)
    "You pronounce 'monodromy' so it doesn't rhyme with 'monotony.'"Prof. Graeme Bailey, in lecture (Math 401, spring 2000)
    "It says something about math that 'monotonous' is a technical term."Alex Kay (a nonmathematician friend)
    "Obviously this is weak chalk...or else I'm a very strong mathematician."Prof. Allen Hatcher, in lecture (Math 453, fall 2000)
    "Enrolling in an honors course is like asking for jalapeño peppers in your burrito. I'll try to give you enough peppers to make your eyes water and your nose run, but not so many that you feel like you're about to die."Prof. Ken Brown, in the handout for Math 433 (fall 2000)
    "Mathematicians tend to despise Dirac notation, because it can prevent them from making important distinctions, but physicists love it, because they are always forgetting such distinctions exist and the notation liberates them from having to remember."Prof. N. David Mermin, a footnote to his "Lecture Notes on Quantum Computation and Quantum Information Theory"

    Ruminations on my undergraduate major, one of the most hated subjects on earth, and its redeeming virtues. Honest. As I teach high school math, the pages on teaching may or may not also be of interest to you. I'd like to go back for my doctorate in a few years; we'll see if that pans out.
