Mathematics is, as it were, a sensuous logic, and relates to philosophy as do the arts, music, and plastic art to poetry.
by Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel (born in 1772) keywords: art, arts, logic, mathematics, music, philosophy, plastic, poetry, relates, sensuous , were 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.
by James Joseph Sylvester (Mathematician, English , born in 1814) keywords: described, dream, feels, life, mathematician, mathematics, may, music, musician, reason, sense, thinks , working 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.
by James Joseph Sylvester (Mathematician, English , born in 1814) keywords: human, intelligence, intelligible, laws, mathematics, object, physics, pure, unfolding , world Today's scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality.
by Nikola Tesla (Inventor, American , born in 1856) keywords: after, build, equation, eventually, experiments, mathematics, off, reality, relation, scientists, structure, substituted, through, today, wander , which James Brown is important because he decorates the clock correctly and he's good with lower mathematics. Don't get me wrong - he's good.

Perhaps the methods I needed to complete the proof would not be invented for a hundred years.

But perhaps that's always the way with math problems, and we just have to find new ones to capture our attention.

I would top all the top scores you could ever measure it by.
