Math quotes
" Brian and I were both science students. You know science sort of math and physics side, you know. "

John Deacon
" Of course, I write crime stories, and I have to describe violence and the aftermath of violence. "

Jeffery Deaver
" I had become interested in economics, an interest that was transformed into a lifetime dedication when I met with the mathematical theory of general economic equilibrium. "

Gerard Debreu
" The problem is that no ethical system has ever achieved consensus. Ethical systems are completely unlike mathematics or science. This is a source of concern. "

Daniel Dennett
" No one gets angry at a mathematician or a physicist whom he or she doesn't understand, or at someone who speaks a foreign language, but rather at someone who tampers with your own language. "

Jacques Derrida
" Necessary truth is merely the subject-matter of mathematics, not the reward we get for doing mathematics. The object of mathematics is not, and cannot be, mathematical certainty. It is not even mathematical truth, certain or otherwise. It is, and must be, mathematical explanation. "

David Deutsch
" Reality contains not only evidence, but also the means (such as our minds, and our artefacts) of understanding it. There are mathematical symbols in physical reality. The fact that it is we who put them there does not make them any less physical. "

David Deutsch
" The next chapter is likely to provoke many mathematicians. This can't be helped. Mathematics is not what they think it is. "

David Deutsch
" Let it not again become possible that thousands of young men shall be so seriously handicapped in their Army and Navy work by lack of adequate preparation in mathematics. "

Leonard E Dickson
" God used beautiful mathematics in creating the world. "

Paul Dirac
" The fundamental laws necessary for the mathematical treatment of a large part of physics and the whole of chemistry are thus completely known, and the difficulty lies only in the fact that application of these laws leads to equations that are too complex to be solved. "

Paul Dirac
" Life would be stunted and narrow if we could feel no significance in the world around us beyond that which can be weighed and measured with the tools of the physicist or described by the metrical symbols of the mathematician. "

Arthur Eddington
" Proof is an idol before whom the pure mathematician tortures himself. "

Arthur Eddington
" Proof is the idol before whom the pure mathematician tortures himself. "

Arthur Eddington
" The mathematics is not there till we put it there. "
