Mathematicians tend to prefer a worst-case analysis, a kind of paranoia that is especially understandable if you live in Israel!
Noga Alon
Image
Mathematicians are a bit like the laconic Vermonter who, when asked if he's lived in the state his whole life, replies, Not yet.
John Allen Paulos
Image
Mathematicians use intuition, conjecture and guesswork all the time except when they are in the classroom.
Joseph Warren
Image
Mathematicians may flatter themselves that they possess new ideas which mere human language is as yet unable to express.
James Clerk Maxwell
Image
Mathematicians do not study objects, but relations among objects they are indifferent to the replacement of objects by others as long the relations don't change. Matter is not important, only form interests them.
Henri Poincare
Image
Mathematicians are like lovers. Grant a mathematician the least principle, and he will draw from it a consequence which you must also grant him, and from this consequence another.
Bernard le Bovier de Fontenelle
Image
Mathematicians do not study objects, but the relations between objects.
Henri Poincare
Image
Mathematicians are born, not made.
Henri Poincare
Image
Mathematicians grow very old it is a healthy profession. The reason you live long is that you have pleasant thoughts. Math and physics are very pleasant things to do.
Dirk Jan Struik
Image
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
Image
Mathematicians do not write for the circulating library.
George Henry Lewes
Image
Mathematicians come to the solution of a problem by the simple arrangement of the data, and reducing the reasoning to such simple operations, to judgments so brief, that they never lose sight of the evidence that serves as their guide.
Antoine Lavoisier
Image
Mathematicians, like cows in the dark, all look alike to me.
Abraham Flexner
Image
Mathematicians also make terrible salesmen. Physicists can discover the same thing as a mathematician and say 'We've discovered a great new law of nature. Give us a billion dollars.' And if it doesn't change the world, then they say, 'There's an even deeper thing. Give us another billion dollars.'
Gian-Carlo Rota
Image
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
Image
Mathematicians enjoy thinking about the simplest possible things, and the simplest possible things are imaginary.
Paul Lockhart
Image
Mathematicians stand on each others' shoulders and computer scientists stand on each others' toes.
Richard Hamming
Image
Mathematicians are inexorably drawn to nature, not just describing what is to be found there, but in creating echoes of natural laws.
Roger Lewin
Image
Mathematicians create by acts of insights and intuition. Logic then sanctions the conquests of intuition.
Morris Kline
Image
Mathematicians have a certain type of mind, and climbers have a certain type of mind, because climbing poses these incredibly interesting problems for them.
Jimmy Chin
Image
Mathematicians practice absolute freedom.
Henry Adams
Image
Mathematicians deal with large numbers sometimes, but never in their income.
Isaac Asimov
Image
Mathematicians themselves set up standards of generality and elegance in their exposition which are a bar to understand.
Kenneth E. Boulding
Image
Mathematicians do not deal in objects, but in relations between objects thus, they are free to replace some objects by others so long as the relations remain unchanged. Content to them is irrelevant: they are interested in form only.
