代數(shù)幾何的奠基
The language of mathematics is universal; it transcends all cultural barriers.
數(shù)學(xué)語言是通用的；它超越了所有文化障礙。
A good mathematician should be both rigorous and imaginative.
優(yōu)秀的數(shù)學(xué)家應(yīng)該既嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)又富有想象力。
The beauty of mathematics lies in its simplicity and depth.
數(shù)學(xué)之美在于它的簡潔與深度。
I have always preferred working on concrete problems rather than abstract theories.
我一直更喜歡研究具體問題而非抽象理論。
The most important thing in mathematics is to ask the right questions.
數(shù)學(xué)中最重要的是提出正確的問題。
Algebraic geometry is the study of zeros of polynomials.
代數(shù)幾何是研究多項式零點(diǎn)的學(xué)科。
Theorems are eternal; their proofs are ephemeral.
定理是永恒的；它們的證明是短暫的。
A mathematician is a person who can find analogies between theorems; a better mathematician is one who can see analogies between theories and the best mathematician can notice analogies between analogies.
數(shù)學(xué)家是能在定理間找到類比的人；更好的數(shù)學(xué)家能在理論間看到類比；而最優(yōu)秀的數(shù)學(xué)家能注意到類比之間的類比。
The best way to learn mathematics is to do mathematics.
Mathematics is an art, and as an artist, you have to be honest with yourself.
數(shù)學(xué)是一門藝術(shù)，作為藝術(shù)家，你必須對自己誠實。
The essence of mathematics lies in its freedom.
