I remember I once read a quote of a mathematician at the beginning of a book, or article, which said a (possibly) small variation of:
Mathematics didn't teach me how to reason correctly, but at least it taught me how easy it is to make an error when reasoning.
Does anybody knows who said this?
I couldn't find an "official attribution" but I trust Gert K. Pedersen, who quotes it in the 'Preface to the Second Printing' of his book "Analysis Now" (Springer, GTM 118, Revised printing 1995).
