Quotes about Mathematics

Shouldn't there have quotes about mathematics of mathematicians on the portal?? -Nokib Sarkar ^Poke 06:51, 14 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Quantity and number

The lead sentence currently says

”Mathematics is the study of numbers, quantity, space, structure, and change.”

I’ve always thought that the conventional list of topics is just the last four, without “numbers”, since quantity is measured by numbers. The lead of our page Mathematics lists only the last four. Any objection to my deleting “numbers”? Loraof (talk) 21:30, 13 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Numbers do more than just measure quantity. The fact that p is prime can be important without actually having (or even imagining) a set of p items, and even has practical uses in cryptography etc. But if that's not important enough to deserve a mention, let's remove it.
