Mathematics expresses values that reflect the cosmos, including orderliness, balance, harmony, logic, and abstract beauty.

In geometry, whenever we had to find the area of a circle, pi * radius squared, I would get really hungry for pie. Square pie.

Infinite is a meaningless word: except – it states / The mind is capable of performing / an endless process of addition.

If we wish to foresee the future of mathematics, our proper course is to study the history and present condition of the science.

Science attempts to find logic and simplicity in nature. Mathematics attempts to establish order and simplicity in human thought.

Just as I had long suspected, a person didn't really need math for anything anyway. Maybe some people did. Some limited people.

Do not imagine that mathematics is hard and crabbed, and repulsive to common sense. It is merely the etherealization of common sense.

I’m 30% in love, and if I ever rise to 70%, then I’ll be 100% in love. But I’ll still be mathematically challenged.

Mathematics education is much more complicated than you expected, even though you expected it to be more complicated than you expected.

. . . I still wouldn't be able to control myself around him, and I'm math geek enough to know that equation doesn't work out.

Here's the thing. Math and I broke up two years ago, and now whenever we get together it's just weird and awkward for both of us.

When a student comes and asks, "Should I become a mathematician?" the answer should be no. If you have to ask, you shouldn't even ask.

We often hear that mathematics consists mainly of 'proving theorems.' Is a writer's job mainly that of 'writing sentences?

Logic, it is often said, is the study of valid arguments. It is a systematic attempt to distinguish valid arguments from invalid arguments.

Histories make men wise; poets, witty; the mathematics, subtle; natural philosophy, deep; moral, grave; logic and rhetoric, able to contend.
