Math does come easily to me, but I was always much more interested in what theorems imply about the world than in proving them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I've always been interested in using mathematics to make the world work better.
Thus, in a sense, mathematics has been most advanced by those who distinguished themselves by intuition rather than by rigorous proofs.
One cannot really argue with a mathematical theorem.
I read one or two other books which gave me a background in mathematics other than logic.
Mathematics is written for mathematicians.
We in science are spoiled by the success of mathematics. Mathematics is the study of problems so simple that they have good solutions.
Mathematics is a place where you can do things which you can't do in the real world.
The wonderful thing about maths is it's a totally logical subject, and a pathway has been marked out. I think a lot of these things can be crystallised in something quite essential, that people can get. If I can't explain it, I realise that's probably because I don't completely understand it myself.
Let's face it; by and large math is not easy, but that's what makes it so rewarding when you conquer a problem, and reach new heights of understanding.
I have hardly ever known a mathematician who was capable of reasoning.
