I make no guarantee that the quotes are correct or properly attributed, but if you spot any errors or have more to contribute please send them to Stefan Bilaniuk No doubt but magic may do much in this; For he that reads but mathematic rules Shall find conclusions that avail to work Wonders that pass the common sense of men. Robert Greene, in Friar Bacon and Friar Bungay Algebra Prayer Our Professor, which doth have tenure, Feared be thy name. Thy sets partition, Thy maps commute, In groups as in vector spaces. Give us this day our daily notation, And forgive us our obtuseness, As we forgive tutors who canot help us. Lead us not into Lye rings, But deliver us from eigenvalues, For thine is the logic, the notation, and the accent, That confuses us forever. Amen. An anonymous University of Toronto mathematics student. "ARITHMETICUS" Virginia, Nevada. "If it would take a cannonball 3 1/8 seconds to travel four miles, and 3 3/8 seconds to travel the next four, and 3 5/8 to travel the next four, and if its rate of progress continued to diminish in the same ratio, how long would it take to go fifteen hundred million miles?"

e-zgeometry Mathematical Quote of the Week Current Quote Past Quotes Math Cartoons Current e-z Math Quote of the Week It is not easy to write about mathematics. There is, first of all, the motivating force for mathematics which is beauty , and then the goal of mathematics which is truth . And finally, there is the importance of mathematics resulting from what the mathematical truths tell us about reality (Jerry P. King - 1992) Go to Top Past e-z Math Quotes of the Week Geometry enlightens the intellect and sets one's mind right. All of its proofs are very clear and orderly. It is hardly possible for errors to enter into geometrical reasoning, because it is well arranged and orderly. Thus, the mind that constantly applies itself to geometry is not likely to fall into error. In this convenient way, the person who knows geometry acquires intelligence. Ibn Khaldun (1332-1406) Go to Top Whatever your difficulties in mathematics, I can assure you mine are far greater. Albert Einstein Go to Top 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. J.W.N Sullivan
