More quotes by Sofia Kovalevskaya
Many who have never had an opportunity of knowing any more about mathematics confound it with arithmetic, and consider it an arid science. In reality, however, it is a science which requires a great amount of imagination.
Sofia Kovalevskaya
It is impossible to be a mathematician without being a poet in soul.
Sofia Kovalevskaya
