Thoughts on Mathematics and Art.
There is an astonishing imagination even in the science of mathematics ...
We repeat, there is far more imagination in the head of Archimedes than in
that of Homer.
Voltaire
To most outsiders, modern mathematics is unknown territory. Its borders
are protected by dense thickets of technical terms; its landscapes are a mass
of indecipherable equations and incomprehensible concepts. Few realize
that the world of modern mathematics is rich with vivid images and
provocative ideas.
Ivars Peterson
Mighty is geometry; joined with art, resistless.
Euripides
Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.
Albert Einstein
Geometry is the right foundation of all painting.
Albrecht Dürer, artist
The mathematical sciences particularly exhibit order, symmetry, and
limitation; and these are the greatest forms of the beautiful.
Aristotle
There is no excellent beauty that has not some strangeness in
the proportion.
Sir Francis Bacon
Numbers are the free creation of the human mind.
Richard Dedekind
If a man is at once acquainted with the geometric foundation of things and
with their festal splendor, his poetry is exact and his arithmetic musical.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
The laws of mathematics are not merely human inventions or creations.
They simply 'are;' they exist quite independently of the human intellect.
The most that any(one) ... can do is to find that they are there and to take
cognizance of them.
Maurits Cornelis Escher
A mathematician, like a painter or a poet, is a maker of patterns. If his
patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with
ideas.
Godfrey Harold Hardy
One's intellectual and aesthetic life cannot be complete unless it includes
an appreciation of the power and the beauty of mathematics. Simply put,
aesthetic and intellectual fullfillment requires that you know about
mathematics.
J. P. King
The mathematician's best work is art, a high perfect art, as daring as the
most secret dreams of imagination, clear and limpid. Mathematical genius
and artistic genius touch one another.
Gosta Mittag-Leffler
If all art aspires to the condition of music, all the sciences aspire to the
condition of mathematics.
George Santayana
May not music be described as the mathematics of sense, mathematics as
music of the reason? The musician feels mathematics, the mathematician
thinks music -- music the dream, mathematics the working life.
James Joseph Sylvester
The object of mathematics is the honor of the human spirit.
Carl Jacobi
It was a sometime paradox, but now time has given it proof.
William Shakespeare
