"You ask me if an ordinary person by studying hard would get to be able to imagine these things like i imagine. Of Course!..I was an ordinary person who studied hard. There is no miracle people. It just happened they got interested in these things and they learned all these stuff. They’re just people!!There is no talent special miracle ability to understand quantum mechanics or a miracle ability to imagine electromagnetic fields that comes without practice and reading and learning and mathematics. So if you say you take an ordinary person whose willing to devote a great deal of time on studying and thinking and mathematics and so on. Then he’s become a scientist!"

-Richard Feynman

"Okay so, nobody understands what this class is except the people who have taken it. When you try to tell people that you’re taking linear algebra, they’re going to be like, ‘Ohh I had that in high school!’ and you’re going to say, ‘No. No you did not.’"

-Linear algebra professor (via mathprofessorquotes)

^For those that are considering majoring in math but are deterred by their lack of number skills, there’s definitely more to mathematics than simply numbers. (I’m not dissing stats or number theory or algebra though. Those are cool too!)
