Online Geometry

 

 

Freud Sigmund. 1856-1939. Austrian physician and pioneer psychoanalyst.

"I have an infamously low capability for visualizing spatial relationships which made the study of geometry and all subjects derived from it impossible to me."


"The doctor should be opaque to his patients and, like a mirror, should show them nothing but what is shown to him." - While not directly about math or geometry, this quote reflects a sense of objectivity and precision that is often associated with mathematical and geometric concepts.


"Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth but supreme beauty—a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of painting or music, yet sublimely pure, and capable of a stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show." - This quote from Freud acknowledges the beauty and purity of mathematics.
