or knowledge in the exact sciences, I often seem to have more in common
with mathematicis than with my fellow artists M.C. Escher Twentieth-Century Dutch Artist, (1) p. 94 |
| Symmetry is a vast subject, significant in
art and nature. Mathematics lies at its root, and it would be hard to find
a better one on which to demonstrate the working of the mathematical intellect. Hermann Weyl Twentieth-Century Mathematician, (1) p. 292 |
| Mathematics has a light and wisdom of its own,
above any possible applications to science, and it will richly reward any
intelligent human being to catch a glimpse of what mathematics means to
itself. This is not the old doctrine of art for art's sake; it is art for
humanity's sake. E.T. Bell Twentieth-Century Mathematician, (1) p. 107 |
| Statistical thinking will one day be as necessary
for efficient citizenship as the ability to read and write. H. G. Wells (1866-1946) English Novelist, (1) p. 323 |
| A mathematician who is not also something of
a poet will never be a complete mathematician Karl Weierstrass (1815-1947) English Mathematician, (1) p. 101 |
