Quote
Mathematics is not arithmetic. Though mathematics may have arisen from the practices of counting and measuring it really deals with logical reasoning in which theorems—general and specific statements—can be deduced from the starting assumptions. It is, perhaps, the purest and most rigorous of intellectual activities, and is often thought of as queen of the sciences.

Quote
Of course, being a mathematician, I'm always looking for ways to avoid tedious mundane labor. Especially if it means I get to do a bunch of interesting abstract thinking. That's kind of the whole math thing: working hard to find ways to get out of working hard. If you are really, really lazy, and also happen to be really, really clever, then math just might be the life for you (assuming you also have no interest in wealth, fame, or popularity).
