We are servants rather than masters in mathematics.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We teachers can only help the work going on, as servants wait upon a master.
Mathematics is written for mathematicians.
Good servants frequently make good masters.
We in science are spoiled by the success of mathematics. Mathematics is the study of problems so simple that they have good solutions.
The world is not looking for servants, there are plenty of these, but for masters, men who form their purposes and then carry them out, let the consequences be what they may.
Mathematics is as old as Man.
But mathematics is the sister, as well as the servant, of the arts and is touched by the same madness and genius.
It may be true, that men, who are mere mathematicians, have certain specific shortcomings, but that is not the fault of mathematics, for it is equally true of every other exclusive occupation.
Mathematicians are like managers - they want improvement without change.
The mathematics is not there till we put it there.
