More From Martin Gardner

Most people have some appreciation of mathematics, just as most people can enjoy a pleasant tune; and there are probably more people really interested in mathematics than in music. appearances suggest the contrary, but there are easy explanations. music can be used to stimulate mass emotion, while mathematics cannot; and musical incapacity is recognized (no doubt rightly) as mildly discreditable, whereas most people are so frightened of the name of mathematics that they are ready, quite unaffectedly, to exaggerate their own mathematical stupidity
Appreciation Math Names
It has been pointed out already that no knowledge of probabilities, less in degree than certainty, helps us to know what conclusions are true, and that there is no direct relation between the truth of a proposition and its probability. probability begins and ends with probability.
Truth Math Degrees
Srinivasa ramanujan was the strangest man in all of mathematics, probably in the entire history of science. he has been compared to a bursting supernova, illuminating the darkest, most profound corners of mathematics, before being tragically struck down by tuberculosis at the age of 33, like riemann before him. working in total isolation from the main currents of his field, he was able to rederive 100 years' worth of western mathematics on his own. the tragedy of his life is that much of his work was wasted rediscovering known mathematics.
Life Science Men
There are two kinds of experts: academic experts and practical experts. one is not better than the other, but they are very different, and each offers very different value.
Two Experts Different
Some people think that mathematics is a serious business that must always be cold and dry; but we think mathematics is fun, and we aren't ashamed to admit the fact. why should a strict boundary line be drawn between work and play? concrete mathematics is full of appealing patterns; the manipulations are not always easy, but the answers can be astonishingly attractive.
Education Fun Math
This branch of mathematics [probability] is the only one, i believe, in which good writers frequently get results which are entirely erroneous.
