Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater. Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955) In mathematics you don't understand things. You just get used to them. Johann von Neumann (1903 - 1957) Mathematics is the language in which God has written the universe. Galileo Galilee Mathematics is the queen of the sciences. Carl Friedrich Gauss (1777 - 1855), from Sartorius von Waltershausen, "Gauss zum Gedachtniss" [1856] The important thing is not to stop questioning. Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955) If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants. Isaac Newton (1642 - 1727), Letter to Robert Hooke, February 5, 1675 I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me. Isaac Newton (1642 - 1727), From Brewster, Memoirs of Newton (1855) Mathematics - The language of Scientists
