Overview

Mathematics (styled Ma+hematics) is the twelfth studio album by singer-songwriter Melissa Manchester, issued in April 1985. Details The album was Manchester's first studio album since leaving Arista Records, her label for ten years, after her 1983 album Emergency. Signed to MCA Records, the album was a progression of that last album, in that it relied more on a synth-pop/new wave sound rather than on her earlier singer-songwriter-styled records. Roughly half the songs on the record were produced by George Duke, with the rest produced by Brock Walsh and a then-unknown Robbie Nevil. Robbie Buchanan produced the song "Thunder in the Night" (a song co-written by Martin Page and Diane Warren), and Trevor Veitch produced the song "Energy". Veitch also produced the song "So Full of Yourself", which was only released as the b-side to all three singles off the album. Quincy Jones served as executive producer on four songs on the LP. The song "Just One Lifetime" was sung by Barbra Streisand to James Brolin during their wedding in 1998, and she recorded it for her 1999 album A Love Like Ours. Streisand liked the chorus of the song but not the verses, so it was asked that original songwriters Tom Snow and Manchester herself wrote new lyrics for the verses before recording it, which they duly did.

Notable quotes

“Rather like the way the Hubble Space Telescope has made a significant contribution to astronomy in enabling astronomers to discover hidden structures and properties of our distant universe, dynamic geometry software has allowed new worlds to become viewable and tangible in mathematics and particularly in geometry.”
— Hussein Abdelfatah, Hussein Abdelfatah Ph.D., Karlsruhe Germany (2011).
““There’s more to life than mathematics,” Joan said. “But not much more.””
— Greg Egan, Glory (2007) in Gardner Dozois & Jonathan Strahan (eds.) The New Space Opera (mass market paperback edition, ), p. 126
“The art of doing mathematics consists in finding that special case which contains all the germs of generality.”
— David Hilbert, as quoted by Constance Reid, "Hilbert" (1970).
“In their field they [mathematicians] do what we ought to be doing in ours. Therein lies the significant lesson … of their existence. They are an analogy for the intellectual of the future.”
— Robert Musil, “Mathematical man” (1913).
“Mathematics is the only true metaphysics.”
— William Thomson, as quoted by Silvanus Phillips Thompson, The Life of William Thomson, Baron Kelvin of Largs (1910) Vol. 2, p. 1124.
“The number 2 thought of by one man cannot be added to the number 2 thought of by another man so us to make up the number 4.”
— Simone Weil, Oppression and Liberty (1958), p. 82.
