A collection of visual and written ideas produced by the mathematical students of Western New Mexico University while working with adjunct faculty member, Tyler Bingham (Spring Semester 2018).

"The mistakes and unresolved difficulties of the past in mathematics have always been the opportunities of its future."
-E. T. Bell

"Mathematics is a game played according to certain rules with meaningless marks on paper."
-David Hilbert

“If you stop at general math, then you will make general money.”
-Snoope Dogg

"Mathematics is not about numbers, equations, computations, or algorithms: it is about understanding."
- William Paul Thorston

“The most painful thing about mathematics is how far away you are from being able to use it after you have learned it.”
- James Newman

“Wherever there is number, there is beauty.”
-Proclus

"Mathematics is the language with which God wrote the universe."
-Galileo

“A Man is like a fraction whose numerator is what he is and whose denominator is what he thinks of himself. The larger the denominator, the smaller the fraction.”
-Tolstoy

"Negative thinking patterns can be immensely deceptive and persuasive, and change is rarely easy. But with patience and persistence, I believe that nearly all individuals suffering from depression can improve and experience a sense of joy and self-esteem once again."
-David D. Burns

"The most painful thing about mathematics is how far away you are from being able to use it after you have learned it."
-James Newman

“There are only patterns, patterns on top of patterns, patterns that affect other patterns. Patterns hidden by patterns. Patterns within patterns. If you watch close, history does nothing but repeat itself. What we call chaos is just patterns we haven't recognized. What we call random is just patterns we can't decipher. what we can't understand we call nonsense. What we can't read we call gibberish. There is no free will. There are no variables.”
-Chuck Palahniuk

"Sometimes the questions are complicated and the answers are simple"
-Dr Seuss

"There are only patterns, patterns on top of patterns, patterns that affect other patterns. Patterns hidden by patterns. Patterns within patterns. If you watch close, history does nothing but repeat itself. What we call chaos is just patterns we haven't recognized. What we call random is just patterns we can't decipher. what we can't understand we call nonsense. What we can't read we call gibberish. There is no free will. There are no variables."

'Obvious' is the most dangerous word in mathematics.
-E.T. Bell

"Math may not teach me how to add love or subtract hate, but it gives me every reason to hope that every problem has a solution."
-Unknown

"You do not study mathematics because it helps you build a bridge. You study mathematics because it is the poetry of the universe. Its beauty transcends mere things."
-Johnathan David Farley; Orono, Me.

“No matter how correct a mathematical theorem may appear to be, one ought never to be satisfied that there was not something imperfect about it until it also gives the impression of being beautiful”
-George Boole

“Patterns are implicit and explicit in two of the most familiar and sometimes most mysterious human endeavors: mathematics and poetry.”
-Marcia Birken and Anne C. Coon

"I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy."
-John Adams

"Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas."
-Albert Einstein

"A great deal of creativity is about pattern recognition, and what you need to discern patterns is tons of data. Your mind collects that data by taking note of random details and anomalies easily seen every day: quirks and changes that, eventually, add up to insights."
-Margaret Heffernan

"Mathematics as an expression of the human mind reflects the active will, the contemplative reason, and the desire for aesthetic perfection. Its basic elements are logic and intuition, analysis and construction, generality and individuality"
-Richard Courant

"Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas."
-Albert Einstein
