Extractions: San Antonio, Texas I have always regarded mathematics as an object of amusement rather than of ambition, and I can assure you that I enjoy the works of others much more than my own, with which I am always dissatisfied. Joseph-Louis Lagrange When we ask advice, we are usually looking for an accomplice. Joseph-Louis Lagrange Profound study of nature is the most fertile source of mathematical discoveries Joseph Fourier It matters little who first arrives at an idea, rather what is significant is how far that idea can go Sophie Germain This winter I am giving two courses of lectures to three students, of whom one is only moderately prepared, the other less than moderately, and the third lacks both preparation and ability. Such are the burdens of a mathematical calling. Carl Friedrich Gauss Every assertion that is made is fully proved, and the assertions succeed one another in a perfectly just and logical order; there is nothing so far of which we can complain. But when we have finished the perusal, we soon begin to feel that our work is but begun, that we are still standing on the threshold of the temple, and that there is a secret which lies behind the veil and is yet concealed from us. Henry Smith on Gauss' works The analysts try in vain to conceal the fact that they do not deduce: they combine, they compose ... when they do arrive at the truth they stumble over it after groping their way along.

Extractions: journey into a strange wilderness, where explorers often get lost." W. S. Anglin "I had a feeling once about Mathematics - that I saw it all. Depth beyond depth was revealed to me - the Byss and Abyss. I saw - as one might see the transit of Venus or even the Lord Mayor's Show - a quantity passing through infinity and changing its sign from plus to minus. I saw exactly why it happened and why the tergiversation was inevitable but it was after dinner and I let it go." Sir Winston Spencer Churchill, (1874-1965) "A formal manipulator in mathematics often experiences the discomforting feeling that his pencil surpasses him in intelligence." Howard W. Eves "One is hard pressed to think of universal customs that man has successfully established on earth. There is one, however, of which he can boast the universal adoption of the Hindu-Arabic numerals to record numbers. In this we perhaps have man's unique worldwide victory of an idea." Howard W. Eves

Extractions: The universe cannot be read until we have learnt the language and become familiar with the characters in which it is written. It is written in mathematical language, and the letters are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without which means it is humanly impossible to comprehend a single word. Opere Il Saggiatore There are some who, because the point is the limit and extreme of the line, the line of the plane, and the plane of the solid, think there must be real things of this sort. We do not know a truth without knowing its cause. The mathematical sciences particularly exhibit order, symmetry, and limitation; and these are the greatest forms of the beautiful.

Extractions: Leah's Math Quotes 1: Calculus as currently taught is, alas, full of inert material . . . The real crisis is that at present [calculus] is badly taught; the syllabus has remained stationary, and modern points of view, especially those having to do with the roles of applications and computing are poorly represented. . . Peter Lax, Past President of the American Mathematical Society 2: The facts of mathematics are verified and presented by the axiomatic method. One must guard, however, against confusing the presentation of mathematics with the content of mathematics. An axiomatic presentation of a mathematical fact differs from the fact that is being presented as medicine differs from food. It is true that this particular medicine is necessary to keep mathematicians from self-delusions of the mind. Nonetheless, understanding mathematics means being able to forget the medicine and enjoy the food. Gian - Carlo Rota 3: The student needs to develop an understanding, however partial and imperfect, by descriptions rather than definitions, by typical examples rather than grandiose theorems.... Gian - Carlo Rota 4: Mathematical skills are like any other kind.... If you are learning to play the piano, you usually start by practicing under supervision; you don't begin with theoretical lectures on acoustical vibrations and the internal structure of the instrument. Similarly for mathematical skills.

Extractions: Presently I study quantum algorithms. Previously I have worked on condensed matter experiment and simulation. It is now believed that quantum computers can solve certain problems more efficiently than classical computers. For example, quantum algorithms have been discovered which can factor large numbers in an amount of time which varies roughly as the cube of the number of digits. No classical algorithm with such efficiency is known and many people suspect that it is mathematically impossible for one to exist, although no one has yet succeeded in proving this. Quantum algorithms superior to all known classical algorithms have been discovered for several problems, and for certain oracular problems, the superiority of quantum techniques has been rigorously proven. However, the full power of quantum computers relative to classical computers is still largely unknown, and the search for new quantum algorithms remains active. My own research on quantum algorithms has so far involved quantum numerical algorithms. Specifically, I found that it is possible to use generalizations of the Bernstein-Vazirani algorithm to perform numerical gradient estimation in any number of dimensions using a constant number of function evaluations, whereas classically the required number of function evaluations scales linearly with the dimension. I completed this research at MIT, where I am working with
