Mathematics is written for mathematicians.

I've always been interested in using mathematics to make the world work better.

I've always enjoyed mathematics. It is the most precise and concise way of expressing any idea.

I was a mathematics major and really into math.

I enjoyed mathematics from a very young age. At the beginning of college, I had this illusion, which was kind of silly in retrospect, that if I just understood math and physics and philosophy, I could figure out everything else from first principles.

At the age of 12, I developed an intense interest in mathematics. On exposure to algebra, I was fascinated by simultaneous equations and read ahead of the class to the end of the book.

Mathematics is, as it were, a sensuous logic, and relates to philosophy as do the arts, music, and plastic art to poetry.

Math does come easily to me, but I was always much more interested in what theorems imply about the world than in proving them.

Much of what I make is geometric, and has a kind of almost mathematical logic to the form.

Thus, in a sense, mathematics has been most advanced by those who distinguished themselves by intuition rather than by rigorous proofs.
