Mathematics
If I were again beginning my studies, I would follow the advice of Plato and start with mathematics.
We will always have STEM with us. Some things will drop out of the public eye and will go away, but there will always be science, engineering, and technology. And there will always, always be mathematics.
I've always enjoyed mathematics. It is the most precise and concise way of expressing any idea.
I was performing at a New Jersey high school, and I asked a class of 2,000 students, 'How many of you love mathematics?' and only one hand went up. And that was the hand of the maths teacher!
The object of pure physics is the unfolding of the laws of the intelligible world; the object of pure mathematics that of unfolding the laws of human intelligence.
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.
I have written a book called 'In the Wonderland of Numbers'. It's about a young girl, Neha, who is very poor in mathematics, but in a series of illusory experiences, she becomes a great mathematician.
I haven't had any formal education. Through the grace of god, I am gifted in mathematics and the English language.
I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.
May not music be described as the mathematics of the sense, mathematics as music of the reason? The musician feels mathematics, the mathematician thinks music: music the dream, mathematics the working life.
Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater.
Mathematicians are born, not made.
Mathematics is the music of reason.
Why do children dread mathematics? Because of the wrong approach. Because it is looked at as a subject.
Mathematics is the art of giving the same name to different things.
Without mathematics, there's nothing you can do. Everything around you is mathematics. Everything around you is numbers.
Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.
