The series of integers is obviously an invention of the human mind, a self-created tool which simplifies the ordering of certain sensory experiences. — Albert Einstein
Numbers are the product of counting. Quantities are the product of measurement. This means that numbers can conceivably be accurate because there is a discontinuity between each integer and the next. — Gregory Bateson
Numbers have life; they’re not just symbols on paper. — Shakuntala Devi
We are all primary numbers divisible only by ourselves. — Jean Guitton
Squaring numbers are just like women. If they're under thirteen, just do them in your head. — Bo Burnham
Imaginary numbers are a fine and wonderful refuge of the divine spirit almost an amphibian between being and non-being. — Gottfried Leibniz
In the simplest array of digits [Ramanujan] detected wonderful properties: congruences, symmetries and relationships which had escaped the notice of even the outstandingly gifted theoreticians. — James R Newman
Arithmetic must be discovered in just the same sense in which Columbus discovered the West Indies, and we no more create numbers than he created the Indians. — Bertrand Russell
God is the tangential point between zero and infinity. — Alfred Jarry
Without mathematics, there’s nothing you can do. Everything around you is mathematics. Everything around you is numbers. — Shakuntala Devi
Short Integers Quotes
The Good Lord made all the integers; the rest is man's doing. — Leopold Kronecker
The development of mathematics towards greater precision has led, as is well known, to the formalization of large tracts of it, so that one can prove any theorem using nothing but a few mechanical rules. — Kurt Gödel
I read in the proof sheets of Hardy on Ramanujan: "As someone said, each of the positive integers was one of his personal friends." My reaction was, "I wonder who said that; I wish I had." In the next proof-sheets I read (what now stands), "It was Littlewood who said..." — John Edensor Littlewood
If we can dispel the delusion that learning about computers should be an activity of fiddling with array indexes and worrying whether X is an integer or a real number, we can begin to focus on programming as a source of ideas. — Hal Abelson
The gods and their tranquil abodes appear, which no winds disturb, nor clouds bedew with showers, nor does the white snow, hardened by frost, annoy them; the heaven, always pure, is without clouds, and smiles with pleasant light diffused. — Lucretius
By itself, an ordinary snapshot is no less banal than the petite madeleine in Proust's In Search of Lost Time... but as goad to memory, it is often the first integer in a sequence of recollections that has the power to deny time for the sake of love. — Michael Lesy
Vestibulum dignissim fermentum ipsum, non consequat lectus sagittis eu. Integer efficitur fermentum gravida. Donec semper, ante sit amet sollicitudin pellentesque, ex enim tempor lectus, eget vestibulum eros enim eu nibh. Etiam et dui ut felis tincidunt laoreet et commodo libero. — Unknown Author
The page of my notebook was filled with many messy integrals, but all of a sudden I saw emerge a formula for counting. I had begun to calculate a quantity on the assumption that the result was a real number, but found instead that, in certain units, all the possible answers would be integers. This meant that areas and volumes cannot take any value, but come in multiples of fixed units. — Lee Smolin
All of mathematics can be deduced from the sole notion of an integer; here we have a fact universally acknowledged today. — Emile Borel
All results of the profoundest mathematical investigation must ultimately be expressible in the simple form of properties of the integers. — Leopold Kronecker
Nature does not count nor do integers occur in nature. Man made them all, integers and all the rest, Kronecker to the contrary notwithstanding. — Percy Williams Bridgman
The trouble with integers is that we have examined only the very small ones. Maybe all the exciting stuff happens at really big numbers, ones we can't even begin to think about in any very definite way. Our brains have evolved to get us out of the rain, find where the berries are, and keep us from getting killed. Our brains did not evolve to help us grasp really large numbers or to look at things in a hundred thousand dimensions. — Ronald Graham
Increasing pressure on students to subject themselves to ever more tests, whittling themselves down to rows and rows of tight black integers upon a transcript, all ready to goose-step straight into a computer. — Leah Hager Cohen
