Mathematik / Mathematics Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Mathematik / Mathematics:

I had done quite a bit of research about math education when I spoke before Congress in 2000 about the importance of women in mathematics. The session of Congress was all about raising more scholarships for girls in college. I told them I felt that it's too late by college. Danica McKellar

The definition of a good mathematical problem is the mathematics it generates rather than the problem itself.

Andrew Wiles

Poetry is a form of mathematics, a highly rigorous relationship with words.

Tahar Ben Jelloun

Apart from two periods of intense study, of music between the ages of 12 and 14 and of mathematics between the ages of 14 and 16, I coasted, daydreaming, through most of my school years.

James Black

Music at times is more like perfume than mathematics.

Gabriel Marcel

I was fortunate to find an extraordinary mathematics and applied mathematics program in Toronto.

Walter Kohn

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.

John Pople

I had done quite a bit of research about math education when I spoke before Congress in 2000 about the importance of women in mathematics. The session of Congress was all about raising more scholarships for girls in college. I told them I felt that it's too late by college.

Danica McKellar

I wonder if economics has less basic core material than is necessary for fields such as mathematics, physics, or chemistry, say.

Clive Granger

I was very bad at mathematics in school, and I always had the feeling as a kid that when I worked on problems, that I would be wrong.

Simon McBurney

I grew up in Cambridge in England, and my love of mathematics dates from those early childhood days.

Andrew Wiles

Everyone knows what a curve is, until he has studied enough mathematics to become confused through the countless number of possible exceptions.

Felix Klein

It has become almost a cliche to remark that nobody boasts of ignorance of literature, but it is socially acceptable to boast ignorance of science and proudly claim incompetence in mathematics.

Richard Dawkins

Aerodynamics is mathematics for those who haven't learned to do calculus. In my case, too, for one who hasn't learned to add or multiply, at least the first time.

Richard Bach

My early education was in the public school system of Omaha, where, retrospectively, I realize that my high school training served me in good stead for the basic subjects of mathematics, English, foreign languages and history.

Lawrence R. Klein

The traditional mathematician recognizes and appreciates mathematical elegance when he sees it. I propose to go one step further, and to consider elegance an essential ingredient of mathematics: if it is clumsy, it is not mathematics.

Edsger Dijkstra

I read everything: fiction, history, science, mathematics, biography, travel.

Martin Lewis Perl

The mathematics of rhythm are universal. They don't belong to any particular culture.

John McLaughlin

I went to Princeton from Amherst, where I split my interests between mathematics and philosophy.

Stephen Cole Kleene

Even when I was studying mathematics, physics, and computer science, it always seemed that the problem of consciousness was about the most interesting problem out there for science to come to grips with.

David Chalmers

It is hard to know what you are talking about in mathematics, yet no one questions the validity of what you say. There is no other realm of discourse half so queer.

James Newman

The mathematics is not there till we put it there.

Arthur Eddington

Well it was not exactly a dissertation in logic, at least not the kind of logic you would find in Whitehead and Russell's Principia Mathematica for instance. It looked more like mathematics; no formalized language was used.

Alonzo Church

We will always have STEM with us. Some things will drop out of the public eye and will go away, but there will always be science, engineering, and technology. And there will always, always be mathematics.

Katherine Johnson

Film is one of the three universal languages, the other two: mathematics and music.

Frank Capra

My interest in science started quite early. My earliest school recollection, from age 6, is actually of mathematics, realizing that one could fill an entire page with digits and never come to the largest possible number, so I saw what was meant by infinity.

John C. Mather

As a boy, it was clear that my inclinations were toward the physical sciences. Mathematics, mechanics, and chemistry were among the fields that gave me a special satisfaction.

Ahmed Zewail

The mistakes and unresolved difficulties of the past in mathematics have always been the opportunities of its future.

E. T. Bell

I didn't know what kinds of questions to ask in mathematics. In physics, I could see there were things that were known and things that weren't.

Margaret Geller

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

N. R. Narayana Murthy

I had a liberal arts education at Amherst College where I had two majors, mathematics and philosophy.

Stephen Cole Kleene

It is not of the essence of mathematics to be conversant with the ideas of number and quantity.

George Boole

I love speculating about solutions to problems in mathematics. I have no interest whatever in sudoku. But I do look at chess and bridge problems in newspapers. I find that relaxing.

Vikram Seth

I stayed away from mathematics not so much because I knew it would be hard work as because of the amount of time I knew it would take, hours spent in a field where I was not a natural.

Carl Sandburg

In mathematics we have long since drawn the rein, and given over a hopeless race.

Charles Babbage

I did not have a very literary background. I came to poetry from the sciences and mathematics, and also through an interest in Japanese and Chinese poetry in translation.

Robert Morgan

I was so pleased to be at university to do physics and mathematics.

John Henry Carver
