A mathematician, like a painter or poet, is a maker of patterns. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas.
G. H. Hardy Archimedes will be remembered when Aeschylus is forgotten, because languages die and mathematical ideas do not. G. H. Hardy I am interested in mathematics only as a creative art. G. H. Hardy It is not worth an intelligent man's time to be in the majority. By definition, there are already enough people to do that. G. H. Hardy Pure mathematics is on the whole distinctly more useful than applied. For what is useful above all is technique, and mathematical technique is taught mainly through pure mathematics. G. H. Hardy There is no scorn more profound, or on the whole more justifiable, than that of the men who make for the men who explain. Exposition, criticism, appreciation, is work for second-rate minds. G. H. Hardy Young men should prove theorems, old men should write books. G. H. Hardy |
