Mathematics Quotes
In my schooling through high school, I excelled mainly in chemistry, physics and mathematics.
James Rainwater
I could never accept findings based almost exclusively on mathematics. It ain't ignorance that causes all the trouble in this world. It's the things people know that ain't so.
Edwin Armstrong
Do not worry about your difficulties in Mathematics. I can assure you mine are still greater.
