Equations Quotations

To me, drum soloing is like doing a marathon and solving equations at the same time.

It seems that if one is working from the point of view of getting beauty in one's equations, and if one has really a sound insight, one is on a sure line of progress

Everything, however complicated - breaking waves, migrating birds, and tropical forests - is made of atoms and obeys the equations of quantum physics. But even if those equations could be solved, they wouldn't offer the enlightenment that scientists seek. Each science has its own autonomous concepts and laws.

My intention here is to make it clear that not a single cell of my composition, here in regard to The Raven, is found by chance or intuition, that the composition moved towards perfection with the precision and inevitability of a mathematical equation.

Global equations undergo changes, this is their nature.

I regard it in fact as the great advantage of the mathematical technique that it allows us to describe, by means of algebraic equations, the general character of a pattern even where we are ignorant of the numerical values which will determine its particular manifestation.

Amazingly when you add life and consciousness to the equation you can actually explain some of the biggest puzzles of science.

The equation of religion with belief is rather recent.

The math of quantum mechanics and the math of general relativity, when they confront one another, they are ferocious antagonists and the equations don't work.

A common misconception about how things such as space shuttles come to be is that engineers simply apply the theories and equations of science. But this cannot be done until the new thing-to-be is conceived in the engineer's mind's eye. Rather than following from science, engineered things lead it.

If you took love out of the equation, I wouldn't know what else to write about.

I don't care much for equations myself. This is partly because it is difficult for me to write them down, but mainly because I don't have an intuitive feeling for equations.

Someone told me that each equation I included in the book would halve the sales.

Economics pretends to be a science. Its practitioners fill blackboards with equations and clog computers with data. But it is really a faith, or more accurately a set of overlapping and squabbling faiths, each with its own doctrines.

The universe is governed by science. But science tells us that we can't solve the equations, directly in the abstract.

There are so many formulas, equations and theories in this game right now, ... I'm sorry, but I'm getting confused. We had to go back in time and come up with some things that have always been timeless in this game.

I don't think it will alter the equations very much, but it is sort of an evolution.

I see screenwriting as a bit like a math equation which I have to solve.

If you are trying to impress a woman, leave any sort of show farting out of the equation.

Be kind to everyone, and don't leave yourself out of the equation.

The True Will is thus both determined by its equations, and free because those equation are simply its own name, spelt out fully.

…Our sunsets have been reduced to wavelengths and frequencies. The complexities of the universe have been shredded into mathematical equations. Even our self-worth as human beings has been destroyed.

If others would but reflect on mathematical truths as deeply and continuously as I have, they would make my discoveries.

Under the federal reserve act, panics are scientifically created. The present panic is the first scientifically created one, worked out as we figured, a mathematical equation.

An equation is a prophecy that always comes true.

I wouldn't be where I am now if I didn't fail ... a lot. The good, the bad, it's all part of the success equation.

The successes of the differential equation paradigm were impressive and extensive. Many problems, including basic and important ones, led to equations that could be solved. A process of self-selection set in, whereby equations that could not be solved were automatically of less interest than those that could.

I noticed the kids came home talking about chemical equations and the father's scratching his head. I saw it so often -- the father would say, 'I'm an idiot, but my son is a genius. He knows about malolactic fermentation.' Sooner or later all these wines taste the same.

Aw, where we come from the Anti-Life Equation is one of many others--almost as awesome!! But they merely exist!!

Being a daughter is only half the equation; bearing one is the other.

We want to put sportsmanship back in the equation.

It never does to leave a live Dragon out of the equation.

God is not a dead equation!

Differential equations won't help you much in the design of aeroplanes - not yet, anyhow.

Ronald Reagan knew who he was. Barack Obama is still working through that equation politically.

It took me 1057 pages to describe the hundreds of mathematical equations, algorithms and programming techniques that I invented and used.

It is more important to have beauty in one's equations than to have them fit experiment.

I consider that I understand an equation when I can predict the properties of its solutions, without actually solving it.

A good deal of my research in physics has consisted in not setting out to solve some particular problem, but simply examining mathematical equations of a kind that physicists use and trying to fit them together in an interesting way, regardless of any application that the work may have. It is simply a search for pretty mathematics. It may turn out later to have an application. Then one has good luck. At age 78.

God is not described in equations.

If there was some sort of mathematical equation for beauty, I don’t know if I would be the algorithm. I’m not a supermodel. That’s not what I do. What I do is music. I want my fans to feel the way I do, to know what they have to offer is just as important, more important, than what’s happening on the outside.

Do not be afraid to skip equations (I do this frequently myself).

Stardom equals freedom. It's the only equation that matters.

Equations are the devil's sentences.

The thing that got me started on the science that I've been building now for about 20 years or so was the question of okay, if mathematical equations can't make progress in understanding complex phenomena in the natural world, how might we make progress?

The same equations have the same solutions

Politics is for the present, while our equations are for eternity.

One nonabsolute number is the given time of arrival, which is now known to be one of the most bizarre of mathematical concepts, a number whose existence can only be defined as being anything other than itself. In other words, the given time of arrival is the one moment of time at which it is impossible that any member of the party will arrive.

A mathematical equation stands forever

Writing a novel is like trying to solve a very long mathematical equation. Changing anything can change everything else.

Words are a pretty fuzzy substitute for mathematical equations.

The world looks like a multiplication-table, or a mathematical equation, which, turn it how you will, balances itself.

We women know how to take care of everybody so well. But the one person we have written out of the equation is us.
