Archimedes will be remembered when Aeschylus is forgotten, because languages die and mathematical ideas do not. ↗

It is generally recognised that women are better than men at languages, personal relations and multi-tasking, but less good at map-reading and spatial awareness. It is therefore not unreasonable to suppose that women might be less good at mathematics and physics. ↗

Evolution has ensured that our brains just aren't equipped to visualise 11 dimensions directly. However, from a purely mathematical point of view it's just as easy to think in 11 dimensions, as it is to think in three or four. ↗

There exists, if I am not mistaken, an entire world which is the totality of mathematical truths, to which we have access only with our mind, just as a world of physical reality exists, the one like the other independent of ourselves, both of divine creation. ↗

And they're also very good at math, these super boogers, and so they teach Billy the ways of mathematics. ↗

Much of what I make is geometric, and has a kind of almost mathematical logic to the form. ↗

As I say, there was this movement to try to bring philosophers and mathematicians together into an organization where they would talk to each other. An organization wasn't effective unless you had a journal. That's about all I know. ↗

The greatest mathematicians, as Archimedes, Newton, and Gauss, always united theory and applications in equal measure. ↗

My early education was in the public school system of Omaha, where, retrospectively, I realize that my high school training served me in good stead for the basic subjects of mathematics, English, foreign languages and history. ↗
