I can't recall who once said: "God is a mathematician."

No, God is an artist who paints w/ numbers (not to be confused w/ our dim approximations).

Some mathematician, no doubt.

"I can't recall who once said: "God is a mathematician.""I think it was Eddington, as others have probably already answered. I think Earnst Mach was closer to the truth in saying that God would have no need of mathematics. Just as we have no need of mathematics to add one and one, as we can directly visualize the answer.
Maybe our universe is a little bump on a Hobbit's nose in another reality. We may never know for sure:^)
