I've never met Hans Rosling, but I just knew him through his many YouTube videos, and they were absolute dynamite.

Calculus works by making visible the infinitesimally small.

A PhD in Mathematics is three years of guessing it wrong, plus one week of getting it right and writing a dissertation.

Indeed, nowadays no electrical engineer could get along without complex numbers, and neither could anyone working in aerodynamics or fluid dynamics.

I firmly believe that mathematics does not exist outside of humans. It is something we, as a species, invent.

We mathematicians are used to the fact that our subject is widely misunderstood, perhaps more than any other subject (except perhaps linguistics).

The whole apparatus of the calculus takes on an entirely different form when developed for the complex numbers.

Cardinal arithmetic will be quite important for us, so we spend some time on it. Since, however, it tends to be trivial, we shall not need to spend much of this time on proofs.

There can be very little of present-day science and technology that is not dependent on complex numbers in one way or another.

The linear-programming was - and is - perhaps the single most important real-life problem.

Given the brief - and generally misleading - exposure most people have to mathematics at school, raising the public awareness of mathematics will always be an uphill battle.

To pray is seek the sacred path.

The human mind is an endless vast of miraculous wonders.

Buy my album because... it's the kind of music you can be friends with. And it's the only way that *pause* aliens won't come to Earth and destroy us. I am sure of this.

Divorce is war and unfortunately, some parents live in constant entanglements with their ex-spouses and they shift aside the issues that post-divorce can leave on the shoulders of their children.

I don't need to publish to make a living.

Reminding myself of all that I have to be thankful for really helps ground me and keeps me from tipping over into that negative place.

He was one of those earnest, persevering dancers--the kind that have taken twelve correspondence lessons.

No disease is more dangerous than a bad husband, for if a woman catches that Pox, she'll languish from it her entire life.

If I don't do stand-up for two weeks, I get freaked out.
