Come on, you know those guys have great insights into mathematics. Specially deep problem solving.

Something like "Do you mean the fundamental dream of algebra?" but less rude and less controversial.

"'Piggot' is a portmanteau of 'pig' and 'faggot', meaning 'pig-faggot'"

Whoever that guy is, I know he is not a mathematician. He is an autistic shitposter. I am not sharing any of his qutoes.

You could do one from that deaf fuck who built the Sagrada familia, Gaudi was his name is think.

"I am a geometrician, therefore I am synthetic"

>>8929637
That quote sounds pretty cringe if I do say so myself.

>>8929640
I don't think you'll be finding much in the way of not cringe-worthy if you're looking for mathematics related quotes.

"I don’t believe in categories of any kind" - Duke Ellington

>>8929644
>Edward Kennedy “Duke” Ellington was an American composer, pianist, and big band leader

I am looking for mathematicians. And specifically quotes that make it obvious that they are about mathematics and problem solving.

Obligatory "super thin rectangles" joke.

>>8929630
I am so a mathematician, piggot

"What the fuck have you been doing for the past 2 years?" -My advisor

you might find something in
http://www.kurims.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~motizuki/Alien%20Copies,%20Gaussians,%20and%20Inter-universal%20Teichmuller%20Theory.pdf

mostly near the end, something about the development of mathematics like pic related, but there's not really any one-liners

Oh boy, I found a gold mine. "Thoughts of Shinichi Mochizuki"

http://www.kurims.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~motizuki/thoughts-english.html

>>8929656
Oh fuck, I like that. I should have remembered Perelman was also in the category of edgy misunderstood geniuses like Mochizuki and Wildberger. But it is just that he doesn't get posted here anymore and my tiny brain forgets.

Do you think this could be too depressive for kids who maybe don't know the entire context of the quote or do you think that they'll get it?

>>8929594
>Cubum autem in duos cubos, aut quadratoquadratum in duos quadratoquadratos & generaliter nullam in infinitum ultra quadratum potestatem in duos eiusdem nominis fas est dividere cuius rei demonstrationem mirabilem sane detexi. Hanc marginis exiguitas non caperet.

"As a society, we need to stop looking at mathematics as we do in the schoolsystem where we teach a different facet each year and instead begin looking at it like this:"


>or any variation of this

i'm actually okay with context free grammars being introduced so early

Go to the nearest library and open a math textbook, most of them have good quotes before each chapter :)

"primes are like weed"

>>8929594
remember kids, pi is wrong

It doesn't really matter what you have to say as the guy is deaf.

They are kids wtf.
>>8930006
I know, but those are the mainstream ones. I wanted some spicy hot sauce from Wildberger or Mochizuki.

wildburger quotes

>>8930295
I appreciate it comrad but none of it sounds like quote material. I mean, I wouldn't want to write "standard mathematics is an inconsistent theory" to a group of math students.

I would prefer something less agressive. Just Wildberger talking about how he feels about doing mathematics.

>>8930297
how about (paraphrasing)
>If we draw a circle and a line through the circle, it is unclear if the line intersects with the circle.

>>8930307
Well, I am afraid one of the actual professors supervising this will see it and think I am retarded.

>>8930295

So is he actually unable to spot his own error?

He used the formula for distance traveled assuming that POSITIVE g is downward (i.e. 1 - g/2*t^2), yet he earlier defined g so that NEGATIVE g is downward (i.e. g = -32) ?

Is he so retarded that he doesn't realize that you need to use a consistent convention for the direction of g throughout the entire problem?

So is this just someone's joke parody of him? Or did he actually post this to the world as written proof that he's mentally retarded?

Surely this image is entirely fake.
