more pi?

Thanks, Erica, for the quote you left on your blog for me. http://urkasmusings.com/

Love is like pi - natural, irrational, and very important.- Lisa Hoffman

That made me start thinking that there are probably more where that came from. I don't have much time right now since we have to work on algebra (no pun intended), but here a few that I quickly found.

In mathematics you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
Johann von Neumann (1903 - 1957)

I have hardly ever known a mathematician who was capable of reasoning.
Plato (427 BC - 347 BC)

Mathematics may be defined as the subject in which we never know what we are talking about, nor whether what we are saying is true.
Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970)

As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.
Albert Einstein (1879 - 1955), "Geometry and Experience", January 27, 1921
