Grant Sanderson: 数学是我们可以精确了解的事物，它建立在一些公理之上，通过严谨的证明得出结论，不同于其他领域存在实验误差和不确定性。数学是客观存在的，任何具有逻辑思维能力的生物都可以理解它，虽然他们可能使用不同的符号。数学与现实世界之间存在互动，数学发展的方向取决于其是否有用，虽然有些数学看似无用，但历史上却有许多看似无用的数学最终被证明是有用的。数学既是发现也是发明，这是一个循环往复的过程，我们通过观察世界或已有的数学知识进行发现，然后利用这些发现来定义下一步的数学概念，再进行新的发现，如此循环往复。 Neil deGrasse Tyson: 提出了一些关于数学本质和应用的问题，并引导讨论。 Chuck Nice: 提出了一些关于数学本质和应用的问题，并引导讨论。
