MATHEMATICS QUOTES

MATHEMATICS QUOTES


1. Mathematics is a game played according to certain rules with meaningless marks on paper. — David Hilbert
2. Mathematics is concerned only with the enumeration and comparison of relations. — Carl Friedrich Gauss
3. Mathematics is the door and key to the sciences. — Roger Bacon
4. Mathematics is the science of what is clear by itself. — Carl Jacobi
5. Mathematics – the unshaken Foundation of Sciences, and the plentiful Fountain of Advantage to human affairs.  — Isaac Barrow
6. Mathematics is as much an aspect of culture as it is a collection of algorithms. —  Carl Boyer
7. Mathematics is the art of giving the same name to different things.– Henri Poincaré
8. Mathematics is one of the essential emanations of the human spirit — a think to be valued in and for itself like art or poetry.
9. Mathematics is not a careful march down a well-cleared highway, but a journey into a strange wilderness, where the explorers often get lost. Rigour should be a signal to the historian that the maps have been made, and the real explorers have gone elsewhere. –– W. S. A
10. 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.– John William Navin Sullivan
11. Mathematics is the supreme judge; from its decisions there is no appeal.–Tobias Dantzig
12. Mathematics is no more computation than typing is literature.– John Allen Paulos
13. Mathematics is the language with which God wrote the universe. — Galileo
14. Mathematics is the handwriting on the human consciousness of the very spirit of life itself. — Claude Bragdon
15. Mathematics is the queen of science. — Carl Friedrich Gauss
16. Mathematics may be defined as the subject in which we never know what we are talking about, nor whether what we are saying is true. — Bertrand Russell
17. Mathematics consists in proving the most obvious thing in the least obvious way. — George Polya
18. Mathematics is like love; a simple idea, but it can get complicated.
19. Mathematics is like checkers in being suitable for the young, not too difficult, amusing, and without peril to the state. — Plato
20. Mathematics is not a deductive science – that’s a cliché. When you try to prove a theorem, you don’t just list the hypotheses, and then start to reason. What you do is trial and error, experimentation, guesswork. — Paul Halmos
21. Mathematics is written for mathematicians.  — Copernicus
22. Mathematics is a great motivator for all humans.. Because its career starts with zero and it never end (infinity).
23. Mathematics is not a book confined within a cover and bound between brazen clasps, whose contents it needs only patience to ransack; it is not a mine, whose treasures may take long to reduce into possession, but which fill only a limited number of veins and lodes; it is not a soil, whose fertility can be exhausted by the yield of successive harvests; it is not a continent or an ocean, whose area can be mapped out and its contour defined: it is limitless as that space which it finds too narrow for its aspirations; its possibilities are as infinite as the worlds which are forever crowding in and multiplying upon the astronomer’s gaze. — J. Sylvester
24. Mathematics is, I believe, the chief source of the belief in eternal and exact truth, as well as a sensible intelligible world. — Bertrand Russell
25. Mathematics is the tool specially suited for dealing with abstract concepts of any kind and there is no limit to its power in this field. — P. Dirac.
26. Mathematics is not only real, but it is the only reality. — Martin Gardner
27. Mathematics is often erroneously referred to as the science of common sense. — Newman & Kasner
28. Mathematics is the cheapest science. Unlike physics or chemistry, it does not require any expensive equipment. All one needs for mathematics is a pencil and paper.
29. Mathematics Is an Edifice, Not a Toolbox
30. Mathematics is an independent world created out of pure intelligence.  — William Woods Worth
31. Mathematics is, as it were, a sensuous logic, and relates to philosophy as do the arts, music, and plastic art to poetry. —  K. Shegel
32. Mathematics is a more powerful instrument of knowledge than any other that has been bequeathed to us by human agency.  — Descartes
33. Mathematics is the science which uses easy words for hard ideas. — Edward Kasner and James R. Newman
34. Mathematics is a body of knowledge, but it contains no truths.  — Morris Kline
35. Mathematics is the science which draws necessary conclusions. — Benjamin Pierce
36. Mathematics is an art of human understanding. — William Thurston
37, Mathematics, in the common lay view, is a static discipline based on formulas…But outside the public view, mathematics continues to grow at a rapid rate…the guide to this growth is not calculation and formulas, but an open ended search for pattern. –– Lynn A. Steen
38. Mathematics, even in its present and most abstract state, is not detached from life. It is just the ideal handling of the problems of life.– Cassius Jackson Keyser 
39. Mathematics is the science of definiteness, the necessary vocabulary of those who know. — W. J. White
40. Mathematics serves as a handmaiden for the explanation of the quantitative situations in other subjects, such as economics. – H. F. Fehr
41. Mathematics compares the most diverse phenomena and discovers the secret analogies that unite them. — Joseph Fourier 
42. Mathematics is on the artistic side a creation of new rhythms, orders, designs, harmonies, and on the knowledge side, is a systematic study of various rhythms, orders.– William L. Schaaf 
43. Mathematics is pure language – the language of science. It is unique among languages in its ability to provide precise expression for every thought or concept that can be formulated in its terms. — A Adler.
44. But mathematics is the sister, as well as the servant, of the arts and is touched by the same madness and genius. — Marston Morse
45. Mathematics is concerned with “all possible worlds. — D.M. Armstrong
46.  . . mathematics is not just another language . . . it is a language plus logic. Mathematics is a tool for reasoning. — Richard Feynman
47. Mathematics is not a contemplative but a creative subject; no one can draw much consolation from it when he has lost the power or the desire to create; and that is apt to happen to a mathematician rather soon. It is a pity, but in that case he does not matter a great deal anyhow, and it would be silly to bother about him. — G.H. Hardy
48. Mathematics, however, is, as it were, its own explanation; this, although it may seem hard to accept, is nevertheless true, for the recognition that a fact is so is the cause upon which we base the proof. — Girolamo Cardano
49. Mathematics makes a nice distinction between the usually synonymous terms “elementary” and “simple”, with “elementary” taken to mean that not very much mathematical knowledge is needed to read the work and “simple” to mean that not very much mathematical ability is needed to understand it. – Julian Havel
50. Mathematics is a hard thing to love. It has the unfortunate habit, like a rude dog, of turning its most unfavourable side towards you when you first make contact with it. — David Whiteland

INVENTION OF ADDITION

Addition was invented and formalized mainly by the Chinese more than 6,000 years ago. It is believed that Ancient Egyptians used complex mathematics such as algebra, arithmetic and geometry as far back as 3000 BC, such as equations to approximate the area of circles. Babylonians measured the circumference of a circle as approximately 3 times the diameter, which is fairly close to today’s measurement which uses the value of Pi (around 3.14). Chinese mathematics developed around the 11th century BC and included important concepts related to negative numbers, decimals, algebra and geometry. Greek mathematics developed from around the 7th century BC, producing many important theories thanks to great mathematicians such as Pythagoras, Euclid and Archimedes. The Hindu-Arabic numeral system began developing as early as the 1st century with a full system being established around the 9th century, forming the basis of the numerical digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 that we use t...

HISTORY OF MATHEMATICS

Nature's abacus Soon after language develops, it is safe to assume that humans begin counting - and that fingers and thumbs provide nature's  abacus . The decimal system is no accident. Ten has been the basis of most counting systems in history. When any sort of record is needed, notches in a stick or a stone are the natural solution. In the earliest surviving traces of a counting system, numbers are built up with a repeated sign for each group of 10 followed by another repeated sign for 1. Arithmetic cannot easily develop until an efficient numerical system is in place. This is a late arrival in the story of mathematics, requiring both the concept of  place value and the idea of  zero . As a result, the early history of mathematics is that of geometry and algebra. At their elementary levels the two are mirror images of each other. A number expressed as two squared can also be described as the area of a square with 2 as the length of each side. Equally 2 cubed is th...
