• Como un taburete que necesita tres patas para ser estable, la educación matemática necesita tres componentes: buenos problemas, muchos de ellos de varios pasos, mucha habilidad técnica y una visión más amplia que contenga la naturaleza abstracta de las matemáticas y las pruebas. No se consiguen todos estos elementos a la vez, pero un buen programa de matemáticas los tiene como objetivos y da pasos graduales hacia ellos en todos los niveles.

• Si las cosas son agradables, probablemente haya una buena razón para que lo sean: y si no conoces al menos una razón de esta buena fortuna, entonces todavía tienes trabajo que hacer.

• When I was in graduate school in Princeton, I was told to take three courses. One of them to work on really hard, another to work on moderately hard, and the third one just to absorb. In my case, I never showed up to the latter class, taught by Robert Gunning, on Several Complex Variables. Several Complex Variables (Cn) was starting to get vary fashionable then, but I decided to specialize in n=1/2.

• Certain functions appear so often that it is convenient to give them names. These are collectively called special functions. There are many examples and no single way of looking at them can illuminate all examples or even all the important properties of a single example of a special function.

• Combinatorial analysis, in the trivial sense of manipulating binomial and multinomial coefficients, and formally expanding powers of infinite series by applications ad libitum and ad nauseamque of the multinomial theorem, represented the best that academic mathematics could do in the Germany of the late 18th century.
