Beyond Numbers
Mathematical doesn't only refer to numbers, it encompasses other aspects like shapes and patterns.

The artist creates mathematical designs using geometric shapes.
Problem Solving
When someone has a mathematical mind, it means they are good at reasoning and logical thinking.

He approached the strategic game with a mathematical mind.
Mathematical Language
The word mathematical can indicate a methodical way of thinking, similar to following a formula.

Her approach to research is very mathematical.

Whitney Wolfe Herd
American Businesswoman
I'm very artistic and creative, disorganised - ambitious, I would say, if that even makes sense. I'm definitely not the most mathematical person in the world; not scientific. I can't even work out a tip; it's really sad. But I've always thought, play up your strengths and let someone else handle your weaknesses. It's OK. Work together.

Quote examples
Thomas A. Edison
American Inventor
I know this world is ruled by infinite intelligence. Everything that surrounds us- everything that exists - proves that there are infinite laws behind it. There can be no denying this fact. It is mathematical in its precision.

Quote examples
Gene Cernan
American Astronaut
I do believe there is life in outer space. Mathematically, there has to be, and if you believe as I do that there is a creator of the universe, then how can we be so arrogant to believe he created life here and nowhere else?

Quote examples
Stephen Hawking
English Physicist
The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?

Quote examples
Robert Lanza
American Scientist
We have failed to protect science against speculative extensions of nature, continuing to assign physical and mathematical properties to hypothetical entities beyond what is observable in nature.

Quote examples
James Newman
American Astronaut
We have overcome the notion that mathematical truths have an existence independent and apart from our own minds. It is even strange to us that such a notion could ever have existed.

I don't believe you can reduce the world to a mathematical formula. I start with the world, assume it's complicated, and ask where can I get help from a whole range of disciplines.

Quote examples
Terence Tao
Australian Mathematician
For me, I guess the main motivation is the satisfaction of finally understanding some tricky mathematical concept or phenomenon and then explaining it to others.

Quote examples
Susan Sontag
American Author
The love of the famous, like all strong passions, is quite abstract. Its intensity can be measured mathematically, and it is independent of persons.

Steven Strogatz
American Mathematician
One of the pleasures of looking at the world through mathematical eyes is that you can see certain patterns that would otherwise be hidden.
