The calculus was the first achievement of modern mathematics and it is difficult to overestimate its importance. I think it defines more unequivocally than anything else the inception of modern mathematics, and the system of mathematical analysis, which is its logical development, still constitutes the greatest technical advance in exact thinking. John von Neumann, in James R. Newman The World of Mathematics
Young man, in mathematics you don’t understand things. You just get used to them. John von Neumann
il cessa de calculer et de vivre— … he ceased to calculate and to live. Marquis de Condorcet on the death of Euler

Wikipedia

Mathematics (Wikipedia) Mathematics is an area of knowledge that includes the topics of numbers, formulas and related structures, shapes and the spaces in which they are contained, and quantities and their changes. These topics are represented in modern mathematics with the major subdisciplines of number theory, algebra, geometry, and analysis, respectively. There is no general consensus among mathematicians about a common definition for their academic discipline.
