Cornelius Lanczos, quotes and words of wisdom |  | "Most of the arts, as painting, sculpture, and music, have emotional
appeal to the general public. This is because these arts can be
experienced by some one or more of our senses. Such is not true of the art
of mathematics; this art can be appreciated only by mathematicians, and to
become a mathematician requires a long period of intensive training. The
community of mathematicians is similar to an imaginary community of
musical composers whose only satisfaction is obtained by the interchange
among themselves of the musical scores they compose." | |  | Found in the topic Mathematics.
