Résumé

Mathematically Speaking has, for the first time, brought together in one easily accessible form the best expressed thoughts that are especially illuminating and pertinent to the discipline of Mathematics. Some of the quotes are profound, others are wise, some are witty, but none are frivolous. Here you will find quotations from the most famous to the unknown. You may not find all the quoted `jewels' that exist, but we are sure you will find a great many of them here. The extensive author and subject indexes provide you with the perfect tool for locating quotations for practical use or pleasure, and you will soon enjoy discovering what others have said on topics ranging from addition to zero . This book will be a handy reference for the mathematician or scientific reader and the wider public interested in who has said what on mathematics.
