  "Before the introduction of the Arabic notation, multiplication was difficult, and the division even of integers called into play the highest mathematical faculties. Probably nothing in the modern world could have more astonished a Greek mathematician than to learn that, under the influence of compulsory education, the whole population of Western Europe [...] could perform the operation of division for the largest numbers." – Alfred North Whitehead (1861–1947) #quote #mathematics #math...

  "The facts of mathematics are as useful as the facts of any other science. No matter how abstruse they may first seem, sooner or later they find their way back to practical applications. [...] The facts of today's mathematics are the springboard for the science of tomorrow." – Gian-Carlo Rota (1932-1999) #quote #mathematics #math #maths
