Is Mathematics an
art or is it a
science?
Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses
not only truth, but supreme beauty – a
beauty cold and austere, like that of
sculpture, without appeal to any part of
our weaker nature, without the
gorgeous trappings of painting or
music, yet sublimely pure, and capable
of a stern perfection such as only the
greatest art can show
Bertrand Russell
If you ask me to choose
between truth and beauty of
mathematics, I would choose
beauty
Sir Michael Atiyah, Field medalist and
former president of the royal society
How can it be that
mathematics, being after all a
product of human thought
independent of experience, is
so admirably adapted to the
objects of reality
Sir Albert Einstein
The prosperity of a state is
intimately linked to the
progress of mathematics
Napoleon
