Mathematics is concerned only with the enumeration and comparison of relations. — Carl Friedrich Gauss
Mathematics is the queen of science. — Carl Friedrich Gauss
2. David Hilbert
Mathematics is a game played according to certain rules with meaningless marks on paper. — David Hilbert
3. Roger Bacon
Mathematics is the door and key to the sciences. — Roger Bacon4. Carl Jacobi
Mathematics is the science of what is clear by itself. — Carl Jacobi5. Isaac Barrow
Mathematics – the unshaken Foundation of Sciences, and the plentiful Fountain of Advantage to human affairs. — Isaac Barrow
6. Carl Boyer
Mathematics is as much an aspect of culture as it is a collection of algorithms. — Carl Boyer
7. Henri Poincaré
Mathematics is the art of giving the same name to different things.– Henri Poincaré
8.John William Navin Sullivan
Mathematics, as much as music or any other art, is one of the means by which we rise to a complete self-consciousness. The significance of mathematics resides precisely in the fact that it is an art; by informing us of the nature of our own minds it informs us of much that depends on our minds.– John William Navin Sullivan
9. Tobias Dantzig
Mathematics is the supreme judge; from its decisions there is no appeal.–Tobias Dantzig
10. John Allen Paulos
Mathematics is no more computation than typing is literature.– John Allen Paulos
11. Galileo
Mathematics is the language with which God wrote the universe. — Galileo
12. Claude Bragdon
Mathematics is the handwriting on the human consciousness of the very spirit of life itself. — Claude Bragdon
14.Bertrand Russell
Mathematics may be defined as the subject in which we never know what we are talking about, nor whether what we are saying is true. — Bertrand Russell
15. George Polya
Mathematics consists in proving the most obvious thing in the least obvious way. — George Polya
17. Plato
Mathematics is like checkers in being suitable for the young, not too difficult, amusing, and without peril to the state. — Plato
18. Paul Halmos
Mathematics is not a deductive science – that’s a cliché. When you try to prove a theorem, you don’t just list the hypotheses, and then start to reason. What you do is trial and error, experimentation, guesswork. — Paul Halmos
19. Copernicus
Mathematics is written for mathematicians. — Copernicus
21. J. Sylvester
Mathematics is not a book confined within a cover and bound between brazen clasps, whose contents it needs only patience to ransack; it is not a mine, whose treasures may take long to reduce into possession, but which fill only a limited number of veins and lodes; it is not a soil, whose fertility can be exhausted by the yield of successive harvests; it is not a continent or an ocean, whose area can be mapped out and its contour defined: it is limitless as that space which it finds too narrow for its aspirations; its possibilities are as infinite as the worlds which are forever crowding in and multiplying upon the astronomer’s gaze. — J. Sylvester
22. Bertrand Russell
Mathematics is, I believe, the chief source of the belief in eternal and exact truth, as well as a sensible intelligible world. — Bertrand Russell
23. P. Dirac.
Mathematics is the tool specially suited for dealing with abstract concepts of any kind and there is no limit to its power in this field. — P. Dirac.
24. Martin Gardner
Mathematics is not only real, but it is the only reality. — Martin Gardner
25. Newman & Kasner
Mathematics is often erroneously referred to as the science of common sense. — Newman & Kasner
26. William Woods Worth
Mathematics is an independent world created out of pure intelligence. — William Woods Worth
27. K. Shegel
Mathematics is, as it were, a sensuous logic, and relates to philosophy as do the arts, music, and plastic art to poetry. — K. Shegel
28. Descartes
Mathematics is a more powerful instrument of knowledge than any other that has been bequeathed to us by human agency. — Descartes
29. Edward Kasner and James R. Newman
Mathematics is the science which uses easy words for hard ideas. — Edward Kasner and James R. Newman
30. Morris Kline
Mathematics is a body of knowledge, but it contains no truths. — Morris Kline
31.Benjamin Pierce
Mathematics is the science which draws necessary conclusions. — Benjamin Pierce
32. William Thurston
Mathematics is an art of human understanding. — William Thurston
33, Lynn A. Steen
Mathematics, in the common lay view, is a static discipline based on formulas…But outside the public view, mathematics continues to grow at a rapid rate…the guide to this growth is not calculation and formulas, but an open ended search for pattern. –– Lynn A. Steen
34. Cassius Jackson Keyser
Mathematics, even in its present and most abstract state, is not detached from life. It is just the ideal handling of the problems of life.– Cassius Jackson Keyser
35. W. J. White
Mathematics is the science of definiteness, the necessary vocabulary of those who know. — W. J. White
36. H. F. Fehr
Mathematics serves as a handmaiden for the explanation of the quantitative situations in other subjects, such as economics. – H. F. Fehr
37. Joseph Fourier
Mathematics compares the most diverse phenomena and discovers the secret analogies that unite them. — Joseph Fourier
38.William L. Schaaf
Mathematics is on the artistic side a creation of new rhythms, orders, designs, harmonies, and on the knowledge side, is a systematic study of various rhythms, orders.– William L. Schaaf
39.A Adler.
Mathematics is pure language – the language of science. It is unique among languages in its ability to provide precise expression for every thought or concept that can be formulated in its terms. — A Adler.
40. Marston Morse
But mathematics is the sister, as well as the servant, of the arts and is touched by the same madness and genius. — Marston Morse
41. D.M. Armstrong
Mathematics is concerned with “all possible worlds. — D.M. Armstrong
42.Richard Feynman
mathematics is not just another language . . . it is a language plus logic. Mathematics is a tool for reasoning. — Richard Feynman
43. G.H. Hardy
Mathematics is not a contemplative but a creative subject; no one can draw much consolation from it when he has lost the power or the desire to create; and that is apt to happen to a mathematician rather soon. It is a pity, but in that case he does not matter a great deal anyhow, and it would be silly to bother about him. — G.H. Hardy
44.Girolamo Cardano
Mathematics, however, is, as it were, its own explanation; this, although it may seem hard to accept, is nevertheless true, for the recognition that a fact is so is the cause upon which we base the proof. — Girolamo Cardano
45.Julian Havel
Mathematics makes a nice distinction between the usually synonymous terms “elementary” and “simple”, with “elementary” taken to mean that not very much mathematical knowledge is needed to read the work and “simple” to mean that not very much mathematical ability is needed to understand it. – Julian Havel
46. David Whiteland
Mathematics is a hard thing to love. It has the unfortunate habit, like a rude dog, of turning its most unfavourable side towards you when you first make contact with it. — David Whiteland
