Pure mathematics are concerned only with abstract propositions, and have nothing to do with the realities of nature. There is no such thing in actual existence as a mathematical point, line or surface. There is no such thing as a circle or square. But that is of no consequence. We can define them in words, and reason about them. We can draw a diagram, and suppose that line to be straight which is not really straight, and that figure to be a circle which is not strictly a circle. It is conceived therefore by the generality of observers, that mathematics is the science of certainty.英文原著 · 《Thoughts on Man》

He established hospitals for the sick and alm-houses for widows and orphans. He was the most eloquent and accomplished prince of his time. He was skilled in many sciences, such as physic, logic, astronomy, and mathematics.英文原著 · 《A Forgotten Empire-Vijayanagar》
The course was somewhat elective, but her advice to me was, not to omit anything because I did not like it. I had a natural distaste for mathematics, and my recollections of my struggles with trigonometry and conic sections are not altogether those of a conquering heroine. But my teacher told me that my mind had need of just that exact sort of discipline, and I think she was right.英文原著 · 《A New England Girlhood》

My mother begged me to code at Stanford, but I went for Applied Mathematics, which seemed, you know, smarter then, but now not only is she going to be proven right, but I'm going to be replaced by people who listened to their mothers - and learned to code. - Okay.美剧 · 《Billions》
