Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Poetry is a form of mathematics, a highly rigorous relationship with words.
We especially need imagination in science. It is not all mathematics, nor all logic, but it is somewhat beauty and poetry.
Mathematics is the most beautiful and most powerful creation of the human spirit.
Mathematics as an expression of the human mind reflects the active will, the contemplative reason, and the desire for aesthetic perfection. Its basic elements are logic and intuition, analysis and construction, generality and individuality.
I find purer philosophy in a Poem than in a Conclusion of Geometry, a chemical analysis, or a physical law.
The true spirit of delight, the exaltation, the sense of being more than Man, which is the touchstone of the highest excellence, is to be found in mathematics as surely as poetry.
Pure mathematics is on the whole distinctly more useful than applied. For what is useful above all is technique, and mathematical technique is taught mainly through pure mathematics.
Mathematics is written for mathematicians.
Logic and mathematics are nothing but specialised linguistic structures.
Mathematics is, as it were, a sensuous logic, and relates to philosophy as do the arts, music, and plastic art to poetry.
