Sylvia Nasar
“RAND scientists tried to tell their wives that the decision whether to buy or not to buy a washing machine was an 'optimization problem'.”
Sylvia Nasar, A Beautiful Mind

Edward Frenkel
“People tend to think that mathematicians always work in sterile conditions, sitting around and staring at the screen of a computer, or at a ceiling, in a pristine office. But in fact, some of the best ideas come when you least expect them, possibly through annoying industrial noise.”
Edward Frenkel, Love and Math: The Heart of Hidden Reality
