![How did Biot arrive at the partial differential equation? [the heat conduction equation] . . . Perhaps Laplace gave Biot the equation and left him to sink or swim for a few years in trying to derive it. That would have been merely an instance of the way great mathematicians since the very beginnings of mathematical research have effortlessly maintained their superiority over ordinary mortals Picture Quote #1](https://img.picturequotes.com/2/948/947464/947464.webp "How did Biot arrive at the partial differential equation?

Text Quotes
We’ve gone from the image of India as land of fakirs lying on beds of nails, and snake charmers with the Indian rope trick, to the image of India as a land of mathematical geniuses, computer wizards, software gurus. (Mathematical Quotes)
Our inner weighing of evidence is not a careful mathematical calculation resulting in a probabilistic estimate of truth, but more like a whirlpool blending of the objective and the personal. The result is a set of beliefs - both conscious and unconscious - that guide us in interpreting all the events of our lives. (Mathematical Quotes)
Conventional wisdom nor scientific, mathematical prove of randomness in life could do nothing to deter human’s curiosity for the unknown, however small the chance of a positive outcome maybe. (Mathematical Quotes)
I was a good student with mathematical ability and interests. As such, I took the usual college preparatory program in high school for one looking to become an engineer: all the available courses in mathematics and science. (Mathematical Quotes)
Nothing has afforded me so convincing a proof of the unity of the Deity as these purely mental conceptions of numerical and mathematical science which have been by slow degrees vouchsafed to man, and are still granted in these latter times by the Differential Calculus, now superseded by the Higher Algebra, all of which must have existed in that sublimely omniscient Mind from eternity. (Mathematical Quotes)
How did Biot arrive at the partial differential equation? [the heat conduction equation] . . . Perhaps Laplace gave Biot the equation and left him to sink or swim for a few years in trying to derive it. That would have been merely an instance of the way great mathematicians since the very beginnings of mathematical research have effortlessly maintained their superiority over ordinary mortals. (Mathematical Quotes)
...a major triumph of mathematical imagination: the use of visual imagery to condense a large quantity of information into a single comprehensible picture... Mathematicians are just beginning to understand these basic building blocks of change and to analyze how they combine. The methodology involved has a very different spirit from traditional modeling with differential equations: it is more like chemistry than calculus, requiring careful counterpoint between analysis and synthesis. (Mathematical Quotes)
Einstein’s theory of General Relativity has a mathematical structure very similar to Yang-Mills theory. (Mathematical Quotes)
We need science. We need empirical evidence. We can’t just use mathematical reasoning to deduce the nature of the world. (Mathematical Quotes)
... scientific research is compounded of ... empirical procedures, general speculative ideas, and mathematical or abstract reasoning. (Mathematical Quotes)
One of the things I’ve always liked about my husband is he’s very good at lots of stuff. He was an English teacher when I met him. He wrote poetry and played the guitar. As time went on, he decided to go into economics, so he’s very analytical and mathematical in addition to his artsy side. (Mathematical Quotes)
Many persons entertain a prejudice against mathematical language, arising out of a confusion between the ideas of a mathematical science and an exact science. ...in reality, there is no such thing as an exact science. (Mathematical Quotes)
Do you know what the mathematical expression is for longing? ... The negative numbers. The formalization of the feeling that you are missing something. (Mathematical Quotes)
We have never pushed it far enough to know, but we decided 47 percent was the right percentage. You can quote us on that. It’s very mathematical. (Mathematical Quotes)
I think the rise of quantitative econometrics and a highly mathematical approach to risk management was the obverse of a decline in interest in financial history. (Mathematical Quotes)
A mathematical idea should not be petrified in a formalised axiomatic setting, but should be considered instead as flowing as a river. (Mathematical Quotes)
It always seems odd to me that the fundamental laws of physics, when discovered, can appear in so many different forms that are not apparently identical at first, but, with a little mathematical fiddling, you can show the relationship. (Mathematical Quotes)
It’s my belief that you can take everyone down a logical path if you take them slowly enough, and the trouble is that mathematical brains can get scrambled a little bit on the way. You get a bad teacher, it messes you up for the rest of the journey. (Mathematical Quotes)
Ever since the Enlightenment, people thought that we were living in a rational universe. They thought that God was a mathematician and that the function of the scientist was to figure out the mathematical rules whereby the universe was created. (Mathematical Quotes)
Rejecting God’s truth b/c of mankind’s hypocrisy is like rejecting mathematical truth b/c mankind’s incompetence. (Mathematical Quotes)
