In the broad light of day mathematicians check their equations and their proofs, leaving no stone unturned in their search for rigour.

Standard mathematics has recently been rendered obsolete by the discovery that for years we have been writing the numeral five backward. This has led to reevaluation of counting as a method of getting from one to ten.

All the standard equations of mathematical physics can be separated and solved in Kerr geometry. — Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar
At the age of 12, I developed an intense interest in mathematics. On exposure to algebra, I was fascinated by simultaneous equations and read ahead of the class to the end of the book. — John Pople

Words are a pretty fuzzy substitute for mathematical equations. — Isaac Asimov
Perhaps we see equations as simple because they are easily expressed in terms of mathematical notation already invented at an earlier stage of development of the science, and thus what appears to us as elegance of description really reflects the interconnectedness of Nature's laws at different levels. — Murray Gell-Mann
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
While physics and mathematics may tell us how the universe began, they are not much use in predicting human behavior because there are far too many equations to solve. I'm no better than anyone else at understanding what makes people tick, particularly women. — Stephen Hawking
Poetry is a sort of inspired mathematics, which gives us equations, not for abstract figures, triangles, squares, and the like, but for the human emotions.

The simple equations that generate the convoluted Mandelbrot fractal have been called the wittiest remarks ever made. — John Allen Paulos

One nonabsolute number is the given time of arrival, which is now known to be one of the most bizarre of mathematical concepts, a number whose existence can only be defined as being anything other than itself. In other words, the given time of arrival is the one moment of time at which it is impossible that any member of the party will arrive. — Douglas Adams
Writing a novel is like trying to solve a very long mathematical equation. Changing anything can change everything else. — Carl Sagan
