The total subject of mathematics is clearly too broad for any of us. I do not think that any mathematician since Gauss has covered it uniformly and fully even Hilbert did not and all of us are of considerably lesser width quite apart from the question of depth than Hilbert.
John von Neumann
Image
The mathematical life of a mathematician is short. Work rarely improves after the age of twenty-five or thirty. If little has been accomplished by then, little will ever be accomplished.
Alfred Adler
Image
The mathematician's best work is art, a high perfect art, as daring as the most secret dreams of imagination, clear and limpid. Mathematical genius and artistic genius touch one another.
Gosta Mittag-Leffler
Image
One could perhaps describe the situation by saying that God is a mathematician of a very high order, and He used very advanced mathematics in constructing the universe.
Paul Dirac
Image
Puzzles are made of the things that the mathematician, no less than the child, plays with, and dreams and wonders about, for they are made of things and circumstances of the world he [or she] live in.
Edward Kasner
Image
Mathematicians deal with large numbers sometimes, but never in their income.
Isaac Asimov
Image
The real work of us mathematicians, from now until, roughly, fifty years from now, when computers won't need us anymore, is to make the transition from human-centric math to machine-centric math as smooth and efficient as possible.
Doron Zeilberger
Image
The mathematician lives long and lives young the wings of his soul do not early drop off, nor do its pores become clogged with the earthy particles blown from the dusty highways of vulgar life.
James Joseph Sylvester
Image
Then there's the silliest of all cliches, 'on a pace for' 'Pace' is a figment of the mathematician's imagination.
Leonard Koppett
Image
What we do may be small, but it has a certain character of permanence and to have produced anything of the slightest permanent interest, whether it be a copy of verses or a geometrical theorem, is to have done something utterly beyond the powers of the vast majority of men.
G. H. Hardy
Image
I have created a new universe from nothing.
Janos Bolyai
Image
If you don't make mistakes, you're not working on hard enough problems. And that's a big mistake.
Frank Wilczek
Image
Elegance? It may seem odd to non-scientists, but there is an aesthetic in software as there is in every other area of intellectual endeavour. Truly great programmers are like great poets or great mathematicians - they can achieve in a few lines what lesser mortals can only approach in three volumes
John Naughton
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
The mathematician knows some things, no doubt, but not those things one usually wants to get from him.
Albert Einstein
Image
Mathematicians stand on each others' shoulders and computer scientists stand on each others' toes.
Richard Hamming
Image
Was it not the great philosopher and mathematician Leibnitz who said that the more knowledge advances the more it becomes possible to condense it into little books?
J. Arthur Thomson
Image
Asked for a testimony to the effect that Emmy Noether was a great woman mathematician, he said: I can testify that she is a great mathematician, but that she is a woman, I cannot swear.
Edmund Landau
Image
All models are wrong, but some are useful.
George E. P. Box
Image
I am a Christian which means that I believe in the deity of Christ, like Tycho de Brahe, Copernicus, Descartes, Newton, Leibnitz, Pascal… like all great astronomers mathematicians of the past.
Augustin-Louis Cauchy
Image
We never know what we are talking about.
Karl Popper
Image
I'm a mathematician because I'm too slow to be a writer.
Jack Edmonds
Image
As a mathematician, von Neumann was quick, brilliant, efficient, and enormously broad in scientific interests beyond mathematics itself. He knew his technical abilities his virtuosity in following complicated reasoning and his insights were supreme yet he lacked absolute self confidence.
Stanislaw Ulam
Image
I can see so far because I stood on the shoulders of giants.
Isaac Newton
