Friedrich August von Hayek

I regard it in fact as the great advantage of the mathematical technique that it allows us to describe, by means of algebraic equations, the general character of a pattern even where we are ignorant of the numerical values which will determine its particular manifestation.

Austrian Economist

John Forbes Nash, Jr.

As a graduate student I studied mathematics fairly broadly, and I was fortunate enough, besides developing the idea which led to 'Non-Cooperative Games,' also to make a nice discovery relating to manifolds and real algebraic varieties.

American Mathematician

Talcott Parsons

If there are four equations and only three variables, and no one of the equations is derivable from the others by algebraic manipulation then there is another variable missing.

American Sociologist

Often used in educational contexts, especially in math classes or textbooks.

Academic Tone

Helps represent complex scenarios simply using numbers and symbols.

Real-World Problems

Applied to represent unknown values or quantities in equations and expressions.

Symbol Uses

Used in computing to describe structures with variables and operations on data.

Programming Concepts

Indicates an advanced level of programming related to data manipulation and logic.

Complexity in Computing

 or practical utility, but because they authenticated the belief that numbers were the sacred language of the universe. In the repeated patterns of algebraic formulas and geometric shapes, the orbits of the planets, and the harmonious intervals of musical tones,

 And it gradually grew to be a very important field in algebraic topology, geometry. That paper up there had its roots in this. So, here's this it has eight vertices, 12 edges, six faces.
