I don't like to be negative about math because it really teaches you a lot of great things. You kind of use math every day. |
| Bonnie Jo Campbell |
Writing is so wrapped up in ego, but with math one is just trying to get it right, although you're often wrong. I think math helped me become a good critic of myself, come at writing a little less personally. |
| Brian Acton |
Yes, I was a big math and computer geek, that's true. I was driven by the scholastic side of things. For me, it was all about what I could do with math and computers. |
| Kareem Abdul-Jabbar |
Music rhythms are mathematical patterns. When you hear a song and your body starts moving with it, your body is doing math. The kids in their parents' garage practicing to be a band may not realize it, but they're also practicing math. |
| Stephen Hawking |
In my school, the brightest boys did math and physics, the less bright did physics and chemistry, and the least bright did biology. I wanted to do math and physics, but my father made me do chemistry because he thought there would be no jobs for mathematicians. |
| Arthur Eddington |
We often think that when we have completed our study of one we know all about two, because 'two' is 'one and one.' We forget that we still have to make a study of 'and.' |
| Billy Eckstine |
If you want to be a doctor, a lawyer you must go to college. But if you want to be a musician or such, study your craft. Study music. |
| John Adams |
I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. |
| Roman Jakobson |
Semantics, or the study of meaning, remained undeveloped, while phonetics made rapid progress and even came to occupy the central place in the scientific study of language. |
| Terry Eagleton |
The study of history and philosophy, accompanied by some acquaintance with art and literature, should be for lawyers and engineers as well as for those who study in arts faculties. |

I just remembered that I also had a dream last night that I had a math test coming up and I had to remember a really complicated formula. I was really nervous I would forget it or mix it up, but then my dad ended up being the math teacher and he told me that, because I'd said I was so worried about forgetting it, he had decided to provide the formula on the exam. But he didn't want me to tell anyone that he was going to provide the formula. And I felt guilty, like I was cheating because everyone else would have to study and memorize it (or at least they would think they had to) and I didn't.

If I had it all to do over again, I think I would've learned math.

I miss the days of Charlie doing my math homework while watching Buffy and eating pizza and drinking vodka in some kind of weird juice I always assumed Uncle Bob picked out.

The absurd thing about coding is that you can be so close to right and nonetheless get complete garbage for an answer. If you can get it, you win big time, but if you fuck up the right spot, it's all over. -- someone who just spent hours being an idiot attempting to code in the middle of the night and making sleepy math mistakes that are totally avoidable if you take care of yourself

I feel like it's possible someone could grow up in this world at a time when competitive math competitions are more popular than major sports games are now. And they'd have announcers and live audiences going crazy and stuff and they'd be like "ohhh looks like he did the carry wrong! But he's got one more chance!"... not a prediction or anything just like doesn't seem that far off from reality.

Sleep Deprivation Disrupts Brain-Cell Communication, Study Finds (npr.org)
A new study published in the journal Nature Medicine found that sleep deprivation causes the bursts of electrical activity that brain cells use to communicate to become slower and weaker. "The finding could help explain why a lack of sleep impairs a range of mental functions, says Dr. Itzhak Fried, an author of the study and a professor of neurosurgery at the University of California, Los Angeles," reports NPR. From the report:
The finding comes from an unusual study of patients being evaluated for surgery to correct severe epilepsy. As part of the evaluation, doctors place wires in the brain to find out where a pat...

Honeybees Seem To Understand the Notion of Zero, Study Finds
A new study published in the journal Science finds honeybees are able to understand the concept of zero numerosity, joining the ranks of dolphins, parrots, and primates. Sci-News.com reports:
The study authors set out to test the honeybee on its understanding, marking individual honeybees for easy identification and luring them to a specially-designed testing apparatus. The bees were trained to choose an image with the lowest number of elements in order to receive a reward of sugar solution. For example, the bees learned to choose three elements when presented with three vs. four; or two elements when presented with two vs. thre...
