Math Quotes
Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.
~Albert Einstein
Though the structures and patterns of mathematics reflect the structure of, and resonate in, the human mind every bit as much as do the structures and patterns of music, human beings have developed no mathematical equivalent to a pair of ears. Mathematics can only be “seen” with the “eyes of the mind”. It is as if we had no sense of hearing, so that only someone able to sight-read music would be able to appreciate its patterns and harmonies.
- Keith Devlin, from Mathematics: the Science of Patterns.
