Mathematical Reality Quotes

“The geometer offers to the physicist a whole set of maps from which to choose. One map, perhaps, will fit the facts better than others, and then the geometry which provides that particular map will be the geometry most important for applied mathematics.”
― G.H. Hardy, A Mathematician's Apology

“The play is independent of the pages on which it is printed, and ‘pure geometries’ are independent of lecture rooms, or of any other detail of the physical world.”
― G.H. Hardy, A Mathematician's Apology

“Sense of beauty, perception, and the mathematical universe are all part of the same texture.”
― Neeti Sinha, Physical Laws of the Mathematical Universe: Who Are We?
