Many who have had an opportunity of knowing any more about mathematics confuse it with arithmetic, and consider it an arid science. In reality, however, it is a science which requires a great amount of imagination.

Mathematics is the most beautiful and most powerful creation of the human spirit.

We in science are spoiled by the success of mathematics. Mathematics is the study of problems so simple that they have good solutions.

It is the perennial youthfulness of mathematics itself which marks it off with a disconcerting immortality from the other sciences.

Mathematics is as old as Man.

If a man's wit be wandering, let him study the mathematics.

Over the centuries, monumental upheavals in science have emerged time and again from following the leads set out by mathematics.

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

The mathematics is not there till we put it there.

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.
