Mathematician Quotes

A mathematician may say anything he pleases, but a physicist must be at least partially sane Picture Quote #1

Out of fifty mathematical papers presented in brief at such a meeting, it is a rare mathematician indeed who really understands what more than half a dozen are about Picture Quote #1

The numbers may be said to rule the whole world of quantity, and the four rules of arithmetic may be regarded as the complete equipment of the mathematician Picture Quote #1

How happy the lot of the mathematician. He is judged solely by his peers, and the standard is so high that no colleague or rival can ever win a reputation he does not deserve Picture Quote #1

A mathematician, like a painter or poet, is a maker of patterns. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas Picture Quote #1

There are no words to express the abyss between isolation and having one ally. It may be conceded to the mathematician that four is twice two. But two is not twice one; two is two thousand times one Picture Quote #1

If intellectual curiosity, professional pride, and ambition are the dominant incentives to research, then assuredly no one has a fairer chance of gratifying them than a mathematician Picture Quote #1

The mathematician is entirely free, within the limits of the imagination, to construct what worlds he pleases Picture Quote #1

No mathematician should ever allow himself to forget that mathematics, more than any other art or science, is a young man’s game Picture Quote #1

The desire to explore thus marks out the mathematician. This is one of the forces making for the growth of mathematics. The mathematician enjoys what he already knows; he is eager for more knowledge Picture Quote #1

A mathematician... has no material to work with but ideas, and so his patterns are likely to last longer, since ideas wear less with time than words Picture Quote #1

Most programming languages are decidedly inferior to mathematical notation and are little used as tools of thought in ways that would be considered significant by, say, an applied mathematician Picture Quote #1

I didn’t want to become a pure mathematician, as a matter of fact, my uncle was one, so I knew what the pure mathematician was and I did not want to be a pure - I wanted to do something different Picture Quote #1

It is evidently equally foolish to accept probable reasoning from a mathematician and to demand from a rhetorician demonstrative proofs Picture Quote #1

Charlie’s not your conventional mathematician... We sexed him up a little bit Picture Quote #1

The calculus of probabilities, when confined within just limits, ought to interest, in an equal degree, the mathematician, the experimentalist, and the statesman Picture Quote #1

To a mathematician the eleventh means only a single unit: to the bushman who cannot count further than his ten fingers it is an incalculable myriad Picture Quote #1

A mathematician who is not also something of a poet will never be a complete mathematician Picture Quote #1

I have written a book called ‘In the Wonderland of Numbers.’ It’s about a young girl, Neha, who is very poor in mathematics, but in a series of illusory experiences, she becomes a great mathematician Picture Quote #1

A considreable portion of my high school trigonometry course was devoted to the solution of oblique triangles... I have still not had an excuse for using my talents for solving oblique triangles. If a professional mathematician never uses these dull techniques in a highly varied career, why must all high school students devote several weeks to the subject? Picture Quote #1

Nobody tells young writers it’s okay if you’re not very good, you’ll get better. So I just thought I’m not very good, so I should try to do every other thing besides writing. That’s how I ended up being a hitchhiker, a world traveler, and a mathematician Picture Quote #1

Mathematics ... is indispensable as an intellectual technique. In many subjects, to think at all is to think like a mathematician Picture Quote #1

Dr. Karel Culik is an outstanding applied mathematician, a specialist in algebra, logic, computer sciences and mathematical linguistics. In 1965, he visited the linguistics research program at MIT, and we have worked together on several projects since Picture Quote #1

One can re-create what was in the mind of a mathematician a thousand years ago, recapture the truth of the intellect wherever it may have once come to light; but the image of art, that infinite variable of perception and expression in the individual, - that is not easily re-created, at least, not with certainty and in its original fulness Picture Quote #1

In some ways I’m a frustrated scientist or mathematician. The amount of times I’ve thought I’d go back to university and do theoretical physics because I like the big questions, but really I know now that that’s not quite me. What’s me is to do it in novels Picture Quote #1

You don’t watch ‘A Beautiful Mind’ and say, ‘This is how every mathematician is.’ Picture Quote #1

Mathematics are the result of mysterious powers which no one understands, and which the unconscious recognition of beauty must play an important part. Out of an infinity of designs a mathematician chooses one pattern for beauty’s sake and pulls it down to earth Picture Quote #1

A mathematician is a blind man in a dark room looking for a black cat which isn’t there Picture Quote #1

I thought of computers as very low class. I thought of myself as a pure mathematician and was interested in partial differential equations and topology and things like that Picture Quote #1

I used to be really cute. I could send you earlier photos where I’m stunning. But I’ve gained about twenty pounds over the past two years, and the more weight I’ve put on, the more success I’ve had. If you drew a diagram of weight gain and me getting more work, a mathematician would draw some conclusions from that Picture Quote #1
