Conrad Wolfram Quotes

I like science and mathematics. When I say mathematics, I don't mean algebra or math in that sense, but the mathematics of things.

I thought of computers as very low class. I thought of myself as a pure mathematician and was interested in partial differential equations and topology and things like that.

I read one or two other books which gave me a background in mathematics other than logic.

Many who have had an opportunity of knowing any more about mathematics confuse it with arithmetic, and consider it an arid science. In reality, however, it is a science which requires a great amount of imagination.

I've always been interested in using mathematics to make the world work better.

I found maths very easy, but I still enjoyed discovering things. You have to have the necessary information. For example, what's the difference between the mean and the median? Probability fascinated me. You have to think very carefully about things, which is the way my mind works anyway.

What is mathematics? It is only a systematic effort of solving puzzles posed by nature.

My dad is a mathematician; I think we both have that problem-solving, looking-for-patterns way of thinking.

Maths is the language of science.

I think math is exciting, you know.

Programming is all about numbers.

My Ph.D. is in operations research. I was interested in making things work better and using mathematics to help do that. So operations research is what I studied as an undergraduate and graduate student.

Mathematics is written for mathematicians.

Without mathematics, there's nothing you can do. Everything around you is mathematics. Everything around you is numbers.

Math is sometimes called the science of patterns.

I love math.

When computers came along, I felt for the first time that I had the proper tools for the kind of theoretical work I wanted to do. So I moved over to that, and that got me into psychology.

I've always enjoyed mathematics. It is the most precise and concise way of expressing any idea.

I always considered programming as being like modern-day wizardry. You could think of things in your mind and then make them happen.

Math is a language that you use to describe statistics, but really it's about collecting information and putting it in an order that makes sense.

Students shy away from Maths, but in reality Maths is the best friend of man.

My interests started about in science and in mathematics; I always thought I was going to be a mathematician.

It is nice to know that the computer understands the problem. But I would like to understand it too.

The science of operations, as derived from mathematics more especially, is a science of itself, and has its own abstract truth and value.

I really like maths.
