“I count Maxwell and Einstein, Eddington and Dirac, among "real" mathematicians. The great modern achievements of applied mathematics have been in relativity and quantum mechanics, and these subjects are at present at any rate, almost as "useless" as the theory of numbers.” Has BeensRealScienceNumbersModernSubjectsTheoryAchievementMathematicsRateUselessQuantumMathematicianMechanicRelativityQuantum MechanicsMaxwellApplied Mathematics Author:G.

“At the beginning of the new millennium, we still do not know why mathematics is true and whether it is certain. But we know what we do not know in an immeasurably richer way than we did. And learning this has been a remarkable achievement-among the greatest and least-known of the modern era.” KnowsWayHas BeensStillsScienceCertainKnownModernAchievementMathematicsErasRemarkableMillenniumModern Era Book:The Advent of the Algorithm: The Idea that Rules the World Source: The Advent of the Algorithm: The Idea that Rules the World
