STEM for Australia
Wisdom of George Polya
A great discovery solves a great problem. But there is a grain of discovery in the solution of any problem.
— George Polya, How to Solve it
Wisdom of Yajurveda
As are the crests on the crowns of peacocks,
As are the gems on the hoods of cobras,
So is mathematics at the helm of all Sciences.
— Yajurveda circa 400 BC
Wisdom of Bertrand Russell
Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty — a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of paintings or music, yet sublimely pure, and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show. — Bertrand Russell (1902)
Euclid, the one and only one
Euclid alone
Has looked on Beauty bare Fortunate they
Who, though once only and then but far away,
Have heard her massive sandal set on stone.
— Edna St. Vincent Millay (1923)
Wisdom of Paul Erdos
If numbers are not beautiful, I don’t know what is. Paul Erdos
Wisdom of Bill Thurston, Fields Medallist, Topologist
Thinking is seeing. Bill Thurston
Wisdom of Leopold Kronecker
God created the integers, all the rest is man-made. Leopold Kronecker
Wisdom of mathematician Lloyd Shapley, game theorist
It is very hard to be a good mathematician unless you can hold a single thought in your mind. — Lloyd Shapley, game theorist.
