Mathematicians From Egypt

"Is it serious that children and young people cannot read and write, but it is okay that they cannot calculate and interpret the numbers around them when they appear in subjects and contexts other than mathematics class? It is not much to demand that teachers who will teach our children in the various subjects at school have basic skills in mathematics."

"Getting a math assignment done is almost better than sex and orgasm."

"I remember the math classes there with horror and dread. The classroom was dark, and the teacher had a completely expressionless face and voice. I thought, am I going to sit here and do these math problems day in and day out?."

"Without an education, you can't get anywhere in Egypt, and the competition for jobs is very high."

"My parents wanted me to become a doctor, but I didn't get into the program."

"I wish to express my thanks to Prof J W Nicholson for useful suggestions."

"I was a child yet I was to be a child in the forefronts."

"In the case of the Stark effect already developed by Epstein and Schwarzschild."

"The aim of this paper is to put forward a theory of the simple Zeeman effect which possesses the same general features as those of the corresponding theory."

"lost my childhood which should have been all joy."

"I learned at that age that playing was a waste of time."

"My mother used to say, I learned reverence and silence at the age of fun and laughter."

"I would consider even running a departure from reverence."
