A 16-year-old student, Britney Gallivan, In 2000, used a 4000-foot strip of toilet paper and folded it 12 times. She later derived the formula for the minimum paper length needed to fold something n times.

Math pattern is God’s source code.

Call them fields if you want—Mathematics is the original.

Today is the birthday of George Bernard Dantzig, the American mathematical scientist. He unknowingly solved two unsolved statistics problems, thinking they were homework. He’s remembered as the father of linear programming.

This is Gabriel's horn. You can “hold” paint in it, but you cannot “paint” the surface of it. It is a shape with finite volume but infinite area.

Mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan discovered almost 4,000 theorems ahead of their time. Many results were so advanced that they were proved only years after his death. His work became part of modern mathematics and physics, like fractals, modular forms, string theory, and black hole studies.

Proofs, probabilities, possibilities, and sets

You are my singularity — the point where my equations break and my world collapses into love.

After John Nash won the Nobel Prize for Economics, a small ceremony was held in the Fine Hall Common Room at Princeton University. Nash was asked to make a few remarks, and his first comment was: "I hope that getting the Nobel will improve my credit rating, because I really want a credit card".

Today's date: 3²/ 4² / 5².

Parallel lines have so much in common… It’s a shame they’ll never meet. 😢💔

Can you identify the step with mathematical error?

When Euclidean just isn’t enough. Enter the world of Riemannian Geometry, where curves rule!

Galileo Galilei was a pioneering Italian scientist. He greatly improved the design of the telescope. He discovered Jupiter’s four largest moons. Galileo supported the heliocentric model of the solar system. He spent his final years under house arrest for his beliefs.

Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world. ~Albert Einstein

Ego and knowledge are inversely proportional

On 9 April 1673, Leibniz was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London: "a position of which he was very desirous" according to Oldenberg.

"An Imaginary Tale" shows the fun and mystery behind i (iota), the square root of -1.

"There's hardly anywhere in literature where you don't find a triangle." ~ Leonard Michaels

Rachelle Kaplansky "Chellie" Chellie loved life. She loved music, art and people. She especially adored her husband, her sister, her children and grandchildren. She was warm, kind and generous. She was loved by all who met her. Her favorite saying: "And this too shall pass."

Albert Einstein developed the theory of relativity. He won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics. His equation E = mc² changed the physics. He declined Israel’s presidency in 1952. Einstein valued science, peace, and curiosity.

Graph of f(x) = x^(2n-1), n ∈ N It's an odd function. So, symmetrical about origin or opposite quadrants. Also, x ∈ (1, ∞) → x < x³ < x⁵ < … x ∈ (0, 1) → x > x³ > x⁵ > … x ∈ (-1, 0) → x < x³ < x⁵ < … x ∈ (-∞, -1) → x > x³ > x⁵ > … Graphs are shown as:

Our amazing system from small satellites to the huge Sun

Graph of f(x) = x³ A function given by f(x) = x³ is called the cube function. The domain and range of cube are both equal to R. Since, y = x³ is an odd function, so its graph is symmetrical about opposite quadrant, i.e., "origin", shown as:

Scientists investigate that which already is, Engineers create that which has never been. ~Albert Einstein

The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts. ~Marcus Aurelius

March 14 marks both the birth anniversary of Albert Einstein and Pi Day (3.14), celebrating the most famous irrational number in mathematics. Einstein’s theories of relativity shaped modern physics, just as π to shape geometry, engineering, and countless scientific discoveries.

A good theorem lasts forever. Once proved, it will always stay proved, and other mathematicians are free to use it and build on it as they please, sometimes to great effect. ~John Torrence Tate

You know, for a mathematician, he did not have enough imagination. But he has become a poet and now he is fine. - D. Hilbert, talking about an ex-student.

On this day in 1950, Klaus Fuchs (German theoretical physicist) was tried at the Old Bailey for passing atomic bomb secrets to the Russians. He was sentenced to 14 years in prison, but was released in 1959.

I am acutely aware of the fact that the marriage between mathematics and physics, which was so enormously fruitful in past centuries, has recently ended in divorce. ~Freeman John Dyson Missed Opportunities, 1972. (Gibbs Lecture)

For a physicist mathematics is not just a tool by means of which phenomena can be calculated, it is the main source of concepts and principles by means of which new theories can be created. ~Freeman Dyson Mathematics in the Physical Sciences.

Love makes discoveries -- lust, inventions. ~Hugo Steinhaus

Where there is matter, there is geometry. ~Johannes Kepler

Suppose a contradiction were to be found in the axioms of set theory. Do you seriously believe that a bridge would fall down? ~Frank Ramsey D MacHale, Comic Sections (Dublin 1993)

A mathematician will recognize Cauchy, Gauss, Jacobi or Helmholtz after reading a few pages, just as musicians recognize, from the first few bars, Mozart, Beethoven or Schubert. ~Ludwig Boltzmann Quoted in A Koestler, The Act of Creation

It is true that a mathematician who is not also something of a poet will never be a perfect mathematician. ~Karl Weierstrass Quoted in D MacHale, Comic Sections (Dublin 1993)

The more I see of men, the better I like my dog. ~Blaise Pascal H Eves Return to Mathematical Circles (Boston 1988).

Mathematics is the queen of the sciences and number theory is the queen of mathematics. ~Carl Friedrich Gauss

...Mathematics... is a bit like discovering oil. ... But mathematics has one great advantage over oil, in that no one has yet ... found a way that you can keep using the same oil forever. ~Andrew Wiles Notices of the AMS (May 1997), 588.
