Mathematical Interest Quotes

I don't think that everyone should become a mathematician, but I do believe that many students don't give mathematics a real chance.

I confess that Fermat's Theorem as an isolated proposition has very little interest for me, because I could easily lay down a multitude of such propositions, which one could neither prove nor dispose of.

I have the vagary of taking a lively interest in mathematical subjects only where I may anticipate ingenious association of ideas and results recommending themselves by elegance or generality.

I realized that anything to do with Fermat's Last Theorem generates too much interest.

There is always more in one of Ramanujan's formulae than meets the eye, as anyone who sets to work to verify those which look the easiest will soon discover. In some the interest lies very deep, in others comparatively near the surface; but there is not one which is not curious and entertaining.

Growing up, I was the odd bird. My interest in mathematics, my interest in the world, how I approach things from a scientific standpoint. You're always going to be looked at as a different bird.

Some things that satisfy the rules of algebra can be interesting to mathematicians even though they don't always represent a real situation.

I am not interested in what today's mathematicians find interesting.
