About Me

An equation means nothing to me unless it expresses a thought of God. Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887-1920).

A mathematician, like a painter or poet, is a maker of patterns. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas.
Godfrey Harold Hardy (1877-1947).

Mathematics is the most beautiful and most powerful creation of the human spirit. Stefan Banach (1892 - 1945).

The unified character of mathematics lies in its very nature; indeed, mathematics is the foundation of all exact natural sciences. David Hilbert (1862-1943).

All the effects of Nature are only the mathematical consequences of a small number of immutable laws. Pierre-Simon Laplace (1749-1827).

As for everything else, so for a mathematical theory: beauty can be perceived but not explained. Arthur Cayley (1821-1895).

It is by logic that we prove, but by intuition that we discover. To know how to criticize is good, to know how to create is better. Henri Poincare (1881-1882).

If only I had the Theorems! Then I should find the proofs easily enough. Bernhard Riemann (1826-1866).

In mathematics, the art of proposing a question must be held of higher value than solving it. Georg Cantor (1845-1918).

Those who can imagine anything, can create the impossible. Alan Turing (1912 - 1954).
