To solve math problems, you need to know the basic mathematics before you can start applying it.

The greatest reward lies in making the discovery; recognition can add little or nothing to that.

It keeps me from getting too overwhelmed about the industry when I can just do my math homework.

If there is a problem you can't solve, then there is an easier problem you can't solve: find it.

Those who do not know history are probably also not doing well in English or math. P.J. O'Rourke

All the mathematical sciences are founded on relations between physical laws and laws of numbers.

Brian and I were both science students. You know science sort of math and physics side, you know.

Later generations will regard Mengenlehre (set theory) as a disease from which one has recovered.

The most savage controversies are about matters as to which there is no good evidence either way.

Republicans and Democrats can barely do what they're supposed to do, and they sure can't do math!

You may end up with a different math, but you're entitled to your math. I'm entitled to the math.

Truth is ever to be found in the simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.

Few realize that the world of modern mathematics is rich with vivid images and provocative ideas.

I liked art history. Also liked the gender ratio, especially compared to applied math and physics.

Only professional mathematicians learn anything from proofs. Other people learn from explanations.

The excitement of learning separates youth from old age. As long as you're learning you're not old.

Mathematics is man's own handiwork, subject only to the limitations imposed by the laws of thought.

Mathematics is the only instructional material that can be presented in an entirely undogmatic way.

We teach reading, writing and math by [having students do] them. But we teach democracy by lecture.

If I feel unhappy, I do mathematics to become happy. If I am happy, I do mathematics to keep happy.

Mathematics compares the most diverse phenomena and discovers the secret analogies that unite them.

I went through a period of time when math was my favorite subject. Then math wasn't as fun so much.

I thought I was going to be a veterinarian. I was good in science and in math, and I loved animals.

I loved math. I was such a nerd! I really enjoyed working through problems and finding the solution.

Although I am not stupid, the mathematical side of my brain is like dumb notes upon a damaged piano.

Number theorists are like lotus-eaters -- having once tasted of this food they can never give it up.

Every new body of discovery is mathematical in form, because there is no other guidance we can have.
