I always thought it was strange when these artists like Kurt Cobain or whoever would get really famous and say 'I don't understand why this is happening to me.' There is a mathematical formula to why you got famous. It isn't some magical thing that just started happening.

The love of the famous like all strong passions is quite abstract. Its intensity can be measured mathematically and it is independent of persons.

We will never fully explain the world by appealing to something outside it that must simply be accepted on faith be it an unexplained God or an unexplained set of mathematical laws.

The immediacy of mystic experience simply means that we know God just as we know other objects. God is not a mathematical entity or a system of concepts mutually related to one another and having no reference to experience.

Design and technology should be the subject where mathematical brainboxes and science whizzkids turn their bright ideas into useful products.

The computer can't tell you the emotional story. It can give you the exact mathematical design but what's missing is the eyebrows.

It is with children that we have the best chance of studying the development of logical knowledge mathematical knowledge physical knowledge and so forth.

As for everything else so for a mathematical theory: beauty can be perceived but not explained.

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.

Some people are born with a brain that has this weird magical mathematical thing that makes them an amazing jazz musician.
