Isaac Asimov
#2. This means that, where appropriate, we will dive into mathematical equations, mathematical intuition, mathematical axioms, and cartoon versions of big mathematical ideas.
Joel Grus
#3. The thing that got me started on the science that I've been building now for about 20 years or so was the question of okay, if mathematical equations can't make progress in understanding complex phenomena in the natural world, how might we make progress?
Stephen Wolfram
#4. It took me 1057 pages to describe the hundreds of mathematical equations, algorithms and programming techniques that I invented and used.
Philip Emeagwali
#5. We are mathematical equations where your life is the sum of all choices you've made until now. The good news is you can change the equation so that you start making a difference in your life.
Steve Maraboli
#6. You kind of alluded to it in your introduction. I mean, for the last 300 or so years, the exact sciences have been dominated by what is really a good idea, which is the idea that one can describe the natural world using mathematical equations.
Stephen Wolfram
#7. Words are a pretty fuzzy substitute for mathematical equations.
Isaac Asimov
#8. ... Our sunsets have been reduced to wavelengths and frequencies. The complexities of the universe have been shredded into mathematical equations. Even our self-worth as human beings has been destroyed.
Dan Brown
#9. Under the federal reserve act, panics are scientifically created. The present panic is the first scientifically created one, worked out as we figured, a mathematical equation.
Charles Lindbergh
#10. Yes, we have to divide up our time like that, between our politics and our equations. But to me our equations are far more important, for politics are only a matter of present concern. A mathematical equation stands forever.
Albert Einstein
#11. I love the fact that people can relate to what I'm saying, even if it's not for the same subject I was writing about. That is the power of real music and real expression.
Corey Taylor
#12. The aim of Mathematical Physics is not only to facilitate for the physicist the numerical calculation of certain constants or the integration of certain differential equations. It is besides, it is above all, to reveal to him the hidden harmony of things in making him see them in a new way.
Henri Poincare
#13. It's worth it. It's worth giving up the sun and magic.
Richelle Mead
#14. I regard it in fact as the great advantage of the mathematical technique that it allows us to describe, by means of algebraic equations, the general character of a pattern even where we are ignorant of the numerical values which will determine its particular manifestation.
Friedrich August Von Hayek
#15. The 'Muse' is not an artistic mystery, but a mathematical equation. The gift are those ideas you think of as you drift to sleep. The giver is that one you think of when you first awake.
Roman Payne
#16. There is nothing that can be said by mathematical symbols and relations which cannot also be said by words. The converse, however, is false. Much that can be and is said by words cannot successfully be put into equations, because it is nonsense.
Clifford Truesdell
#17. Modern economics is a set of formal models and equations purporting to fully determine human behaviour, at least in the economic realm. And there is no way that uncertainty can be compressed into determinate mathematical models.
Murray Rothbard
#18. Among all of the mathematical disciplines the theory of differential equations is the most important ... It furnishes the explanation of all those elementary manifestations of nature which involve time.
Sophus Lie
#19. It is more important to have beauty in one's equations than to have them fit experiment.
Paul Dirac
#20. Investment success cannot be captured in a mathematical equation or a computer program.
Seth Klarman
#21. If you assume continuity, you can open the well-stocked mathematical toolkit of continuous functions and differential equations, the saws and hammers of engineering and physics for the past two centuries (and the foreseeable future).
Benoit Mandelbrot
#22. Live long, my friend, be wise and strong. But do not from any man his song.
Ruskin Bond
#23. The emphasis on mathematical methods seems to be shifted more towards combinatorics and set theory - and away from the algorithm of differential equations which dominates mathematical physics.
John Von Neumann
#24. 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.
Paul Dirac
#25. The world looks like a multiplication-table, or a mathematical equation, which, turn it how you will, balances itself.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
#26. I think it is a peculiarity of myself that I like to play about with equations, just looking for beautiful mathematical relations which maybe don't have any physical meaning at all. Sometimes they do.
At age 60.
Paul Dirac
#28. When the heart opens, we forget ourselves and the world pours in: this world, and also the invisible world of meaning that sustains everything that was and ever shall be.
Roger Housden
#29. If others would but reflect on mathematical truths as deeply and continuously as I have, they would make my discoveries.
Carl Friedrich Gauss
#30. And the great question for mankind is what is to be loved or hated next, whenever and old love or fear has lost its hold.
Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy
#31. A mathematician believes that describing the speed of Mercury with equations amounts to science.
Bill Gaede
#32. It [the depression] was not accidental. It was a carefully contrived occurrence worked out as one works out a mathematical equation. The international bankers sought to bring about a condition of despair here so that they might emerge as the rulers of us all.
Louis Thomas McFadden
#33. If we escape punishment for our vices, why should we complain if we are not rewarded for our virtues?
John Churton Collins
