Stephen Hawking Quotes

An ounce of algebra is worth of a ton of verbal argument.

To solve math problems, you need to know the basic mathematics before you can start applying it.

I just am not good at math.

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 enjoyed mathematics. It is the most precise and concise way of expressing any idea.

Math is my favorite subject. It's the universal language. I like the fact that wherever you go in the whole world, two plus two will still be four.

I was never good at math.

I would say out of all the things I studied growing up, math was probably one of the things that I liked the least.

I'm not good at math.

When I was in school, my favorite subject was math. I took algebra and calculus. At an early age I grasped it and understood it quickly. I just enjoyed breaking the codes and solving problems.

Do not imagine that mathematics is hard and crabbed, and repulsive to common sense. It is merely the etherealization of common sense.

Mathematical reasoning may be regarded rather schematically as the exercise of a combination of two facilities, which we may call intuition and ingenuity. The activity of the intuition consists in making spontaneous judgements which are not the result of conscious trains of reasoning. The exercise of ingenuity in mathematics consists in aiding the intuition through suitable arrangements of propositions, and perhaps geometrical figures or drawings.

I was always very strong in math, physics and calculus.

I'm bad at math.

I loved math. I was such a nerd! I really enjoyed working through problems and finding the solution.

Math, it's a puzzle to me. I love figuring out puzzles.

In real life, I assure you, there is no such thing as algebra.

Math is one of my favorite subjects.

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.

Maths is the language of science.

Mathematics is not the rigid and rigidity-producing schema that the layman thinks it is; rather, in it we find ourselves at that meeting point of constraint and freedom that is the very essence of human nature.

My basic mathematics is rather weak, so when some of the theories are broken into equations, I get rather lost.

The important thing to remember about mathematics is not to be frightened

I really like maths.

I'm a mathematician and always have been, as far as I can remember. I don't remember when I first got involved with mathematics, but I think of myself always as a mathematician first.
