Mathematiker / Mathematicians Zitate auf Englisch

Zitat des Tages über Mathematiker / Mathematicians:

I like to move among painters, mathematicians, psychologists, people who can tell me something. George Woodcock

Mathematicians may flatter themselves that they possess new ideas which mere human language is as yet unable to express.

James C. Maxwell

Need we add that mathematicians themselves are not infallible?

Henri Poincare

A dead tree, cut into planks and read from one end to the other, is a kind of line graph, with dates down one side and height along the other, as if trees, like mathematicians, had found a way of turning time into form.

Alice Oswald

Therefore I would not have it unknown to Your Holiness, the the only thing which induced me to look for another way of reckoning the movements of the heavenly bodies was that I knew that mathematicians by no means agree in their investigation thereof.

Nicolaus Copernicus

It would be better for the true physics if there were no mathematicians on earth.

Daniel Bernoulli

Most were beginning to feel they had learned enough to last for the rest of their lives. They remained mathematicians, but largely went their own way.

Benoit Mandelbrot

Mathematicians are like managers - they want improvement without change.

Edsger Dijkstra

Physicists are more like avant-garde composers, willing to bend traditional rules... Mathematicians are more like classical composers.

Brian Greene

All musicians are subconsciously mathematicians.

Thelonious Monk

The greatest problem for mathematicians now is probably the Riemann Hypothesis.

Andrew Wiles

As I say, there was this movement to try to bring philosophers and mathematicians together into an organization where they would talk to each other. An organization wasn't effective unless you had a journal. That's about all I know.

Stephen Cole Kleene

Mathematicians do not study objects, but relations between objects.

Henri Poincare

First rate mathematicians choose first rate people, but second rate mathematicians choose third rate people.

Andre Weil

Mathematicians are born, not made.

Henri Poincare

The only thing that might have annoyed some mathematicians was the presumption of assuming that maybe the axiom of choice could fail, and that we should look into contrary assumptions.

Alonzo Church

I like to move among painters, mathematicians, psychologists, people who can tell me something.

George Woodcock

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.

Carl Friedrich Gauss

For example, the philosophers who were interested in logic were probably rather logical for mathematicians. But the ASL got us together, so we could talk to each other and publish in the same journal.

Stephen Cole Kleene

The way in which mathematicians and physicists and historians talk is quite different, and what a physicist means by physical intuition and what a mathematician means by beauty or elegance are things worth thinking about.

Clifford Geertz

Today, you have neuroscientists working on a genetic, behavioural or cognitive level, and then you have informaticians, chemists and mathematicians. They all have their own understanding of how the brain functions and is structured. How do you get them all around the same table?

Henry Markram

Mathematicians have tried in vain to this day to discover some order in the sequence of prime numbers, and we have reason to believe that it is a mystery into which the human mind will never penetrate.

Leonhard Euler

I hope that seeing the excitement of solving this problem will make young mathematicians realize that there are lots and lots of other problems in mathematics which are going to be just as challenging in the future.

Andrew Wiles

Our next-door neighbour taught physics at Hampton University. Our church abounded with mathematicians. Supersonics experts held leadership positions in my mother's sorority, and electrical engineers sat on the board of my parents' college alumni associations.

Margot Lee Shetterly

The greatest mathematicians, as Archimedes, Newton, and Gauss, always united theory and applications in equal measure.

Felix Klein

Programming is one of the most difficult branches of applied mathematics; the poorer mathematicians had better remain pure mathematicians.

Edsger Dijkstra

Mathematicians stand on each other's shoulders.

Carl Friedrich Gauss

Mathematics is written for mathematicians.

Nicolaus Copernicus

Abel has left mathematicians enough to keep them busy for 500 years.

Charles Hermite

Guided only by their feeling for symmetry, simplicity, and generality, and an indefinable sense of the fitness of things, creative mathematicians now, as in the past, are inspired by the art of mathematics rather than by any prospect of ultimate usefulness.

E. T. Bell

Many mathematicians derive part of their self-esteem by feeling themselves the proud heirs of a long tradition of rational thinking; I am afraid they idealize their cultural ancestors.

Edsger Dijkstra

As far as I know, only a small minority of mathematicians, even of those with Platonist views, accept the idea that there may be mathematical facts which are true but unknowable.

Abraham Robinson

Mathematicians aren't satisfied because they know there are no solutions up to four million or four billion, they really want to know that there are no solutions up to infinity.

Andrew Wiles

For Israel to retain its amazing position as the largest concentration of high tech after Silicon Valley, we need more engineers and mathematicians. We have too many lawyers.

Naftali Bennett

Pure mathematicians just love to try unsolved problems - they love a challenge.

Andrew Wiles

Female physicists, astronomers and mathematicians are up against more than 2,000 years of convention that has long portrayed these fields as inherently male.

Margaret Wertheim

We need scientists and mathematicians explaining why they are excited about their subjects but also why they are important for solving social problems, informing political debate and for the economy.

Marcus du Sautoy
