When a problem seems intractable, it is often a good idea to try to study "toy" versions of it in the hope that as the toys become increasingly larger and more sophisticated, they would metamorphose, in the limit, to the real thing.

Mathematics my foot! Algorithms are mathematics too, and often more interesting and definitely more useful.

Programming is much much harder than doing mathematics.

The real work of us mathematicians, from now until, roughly, fifty years from now, when computers won't need us anymore, is to make the transition from human-centric math to machine-centric math as smooth and efficient as possible.

No Victor, you got it backwards, you should evaluate these integrals non-rigorously if you can, and rigorously if you must.

Regardless of whether or not God exists, God has no place in mathematics, at least in my book.
