Mathematics my foot! Algorithms are mathematics too, and often more interesting and definitely more useful.
Doron Zeilberger

Mathematics is the art of giving the same name to different things.
Henri Poincare
Image
Mathematics education is much more complicated than you expected, even though you expected it to be more complicated than you expected.

Mathematics is the source of a wicked intellect that, while making man the lord of the earth, also makes him the slave of the machine.
Robert Musil
Image
Mathematics is man's own handiwork, subject only to the limitations imposed by the laws of thought.
Edward Kasner
Image
Mathematics should be mixed not only with physics but with ethics.
Henry David Thoreau

Mathematics is one of the most basic -- and most ancient -- types of knowledge. Yet the details of its historical development remain obscure to all but a few specialists.
Ivor Grattan-Guinness
