Mathematical Beauty Quotes

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
Mathematics are the result of mysterious powers which no one understands, and which the unconscious recognition of beauty must play an important part. Out of an infinity of designs a mathematician chooses one pattern for beauty's sake and pulls it down to earth. Marston Morse
Deepak Chopra quote: "Mathematics expresses values that reflect the cosmos,..."
Mathematics expresses values that reflect the cosmos, including orderliness, balance, harmony, logic, and abstract beauty. Deepak Chopra
Bertrand Russell quote: "Mathematics rightly viewed possesses not only truth but..."
Mathematics rightly viewed possesses not only truth but supreme beauty. Bertrand Russell
Archimedes quote: "Mathematics reveals its secrets only to those who approach it..."
Mathematics reveals its secrets only to those who approach it with pure love, for its own beauty. Archimedes
G. H. Hardy quote: "Beauty is the first test: there is no permanent place in the..."
Beauty is the first test: there is no permanent place in the world for ugly mathematics. G. H. Hardy
Stefan Banach quote: "Mathematics is the most beautiful and most powerful creation..."
Mathematics is the most beautiful and most powerful creation of the human spirit. Stefan Banach
One of the most amazing things about mathematics is the people who do math aren't usually interested in application, because mathematics itself is truly a beautiful art form. It's structures and patterns, and that's what we love, and that's what we get off on. Danica McKellar
When I speak of the beauty of a game of chess, then naturally this is subjective. Beauty can be found in a very technical, mathematical game for example. That is the beauty of clarity. Vladimir Kramnik
Paul Erdos quote: "God has the Big Book, the beautiful proofs of mathematical..."
God has the Big Book, the beautiful proofs of mathematical theorems are listed here. Paul Erdos
Maria Mitchell quote: "We especially need imagination in science. It is not all..."
We especially need imagination in science. It is not all logic, nor all mathematics, but is somewhat beauty and poetry. Maria Mitchell
All nature has come to expect from God a sense of orderliness. Whatever God does carries with it His fingerprint. And in the world around us His fingerprint of orderliness is evident to anybody who is honest with the facts. If you look at nature, you will discover a mathematical exactness. Without this precision, the entire world would be in utter confusion. One plus one always equals two no matter what part of the universe you happen to be in. And the laws of nature operate in... Aiden Wilson Tozer
If nature leads us to mathematical forms of great simplicity and beauty—by forms, I am referring to coherent systems of hypotheses, axioms, etc.—to forms that no one has previously encountered, we cannot help thinking that they are “true,” that they reveal a genuine feature of nature…. You must have felt this too: the almost frightening simplicity and wholeness of the relationships which nature suddenly spreads out before us and for which none of us was in the least prepared. Werner Heisenberg
The mathematician does not study pure mathematics because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it and he delights in it because it is beautiful. Henri Poincare
Tom felt his darkness. His father was beautiful and clever, his mother was short and mathematically sure. Each of his brothers and sisters had looks or gifts or fortune. Tom loved all of them passionately, but he felt heavy and earth-bound. He climbed ecstatic mountains and floundered in the rocky darkness between the peaks. He had spurts of bravery but they were bracketed in battens of cowardice. John Steinbeck
