De exemplu: To mathematicians, solutions mean finding the answers. But to chemists, solutions are things that are still all mixed up.
Golden rule for math teachers: You must tell the truth, and nothing but the truth, but not the whole truth.
These days, even the most pure and abstract mathematics is in danger to be applied.
Relations between pure and applied mathematicians are based on trust and understanding. Namely, pure mathematicians do not trust applied mathematicians, and applied mathematicians do not understand pure mathematicians.
E = m c^2 = m ( a^2 + b^2 )

In modern mathematics, algebra has become so important that numbers will soon only have symbolic meaning.
"What's your favorite thing about mathematics?" "Knot theory." "Yeah, me neither."
A famous mathematician was to give a keynote speech at a conference. Asked for an advance summary, he said he would present a proof of Fermat's Last Theorem -- but they should keep it under their hats. When he arrived, though, he spoke on a much more prosaic topic. Afterwards the conference organizers asked why he said he'd talk about the theorem and then didn't. He replied this was his standard practice, just in case he was killed on the way to the conference.
