Neil deGrasse Tyson

Humans aren't as good as we should be in our capacity to empathize with feelings and thoughts of others, be they humans or other animals on Earth. So maybe part of our formal education should be training in empathy. Imagine how different the world would be if, in fact, that were 'reading, writing, arithmetic, empathy.

Math just wasn't my favorite. I didn't get how important math is and how it relates to real life. That's why I think I was turned off to it. Once I got down arithmetic and a little bit of algebra, I think I checked out. As I've gotten older, I think there's a lot more relation to math. English was my favorite subject.

The secret truth of 'Celebrity Apprentice' is that it isn't very hard... 'Celebrity Apprentice' is easy like junior high is easy. All the arithmetic, the creative writing and the history are super simple, but like junior high, you do that easy work surrounded by people who are full-tilt, hormone-raging bug nutty.

If scientific reasoning were limited to the logical processes of arithmetic, we should not get very far in our understanding of the physical world. One might as well attempt to grasp the game of poker entirely by the use of the mathematics of probability.

Walter Cronkite

History must share with reading, writing and arithmetic first rank as the most important subjects in the curriculum. Understanding the issues on which citizens of a republic are expected to vote is impossible without an understanding of the past.

American Journalist

Lawrence M. Krauss

We should teach kids how to question. Now having said that, of course, to be a productive adult, there are certain skills that are required - reading, writing, and, in the old-fashioned days, we used to say arithmetic. Now we say mathematics.

Piercing minds go mute around poetry. It is imagined to be overly technical, like advanced arithmetic; otherworldly, priestess-like; suffocatingly personal; excessively decorative; exhaustingly bourgeois or tiringly avant-garde.

American Writer

Rudolf Steiner

The most important thing in arithmetic is not the shapes of the numbers but the reality living in them. This living reality has much more meaning for the spiritual world than what lives in reading and writing.

Austrian Philosopher

James C. Maxwell

The numbers may be said to rule the whole world of quantity, and the four rules of arithmetic may be regarded as the complete equipment of the mathematician.

Scottish Mathematician

Sydney Smith

What would life be without arithmetic, but a scene of horrors?

English Clergyman

Arithmetic is often considered the most fundamental area of mathematics and a foundation for other math concepts.

Basic Math

Arithmetic is used in daily tasks, such as shopping, cooking, and budgeting.

Everyday Use

The term 'arithmetic' shouldn’t be confused or used interchangeably with higher-level math subjects like 'geometry' or 'calculus'.

Subject-Specific

When used as an adjective, 'arithmetic' describes anything related to the basic mathematics operations.

Descriptive Term

In math, the 'arithmetic mean' refers to the average of a set of numbers.

Math Formulas

The concepts of 'arithmetic sequence' and 'arithmetic series' involve regularly increasing numbers.

Sequence and Series

Arithmetic can be used metaphorically to describe calculated or strategic actions in various fields.

Figurative Use

Here, arithmetic is less about actual math and more about careful planning to achieve a goal.

Beyond Numbers

This use of arithmetic indicates a logical approach to problem solving or negotiation.
