Quotes by Michael Francis Atiyah (?)

“Algebra is the offer made by the devil to the mathematician. The devil says: I will give you this powerful machine, it will answer any question you like. All you need to do is give me your soul: give up geometry and you will have this marvelous machine.”
― Michael Francis Atiyah

“In mathematics, if you are of quick mind, you can get to the "frontline" of cutting-edge research very quickly. In some other domains you may have to read entire thick volumes first. Moreover, if you have been for too long in a certain domain, you get conditioned to think like everybody else. When you are new, you are not compelled to the ideas of the people around you. The younger you are, the more likely you are to be truly original.”

“The three great branches of mathematics are, in historical order, Geometry, Algebra, and Analysis. Geometry we owe essentially to Greek civilization, Algebra is of Indo-Arab origin, and Analysis (or Calculus) was the creation of Newton and Leibniz, ushering in the modern era.”
