I tell them that if they will occupy themselves with the study of mathematics they will find in it the best remedy against the lusts of the flesh. ↗

A mathematician is a magician who converts adjectives into nouns: continuous into continuum, infinite into infinity, infinitesimal into location, 0D into point, 1D into line, curved into geodesic... ↗

The fundamental laws necessary for the mathematical treatment of a large part of physics and the whole of chemistry are thus completely known, and the difficulty lies only in the fact that application of these laws leads to equations that are too complex to be solved. ↗

There's something uniquely interesting about Buddhism and mathematics, particularly about quantum physics, and where they meet. That has fascinated us for a long time. ↗

Angling may be said to be so like the mathematics that it can never be fully learned. ↗

Ambiguity is necessary in some of my stories, not in all. In those, it certainly contributes to the richness of the story. I doubt that thematic closure is never attainable. ↗

One of the things that ultimately led me to leave mathematics and go into political science was thinking I could prevent nuclear war. ↗

A mathematical theory is not to be considered complete until you have made it so clear that you can explain it to the first man whom you meet on the street. ↗
