From Kip thornes book.
I dont have the exact quotes but it stated that he tried to resist any complex math. Also that he was lazy when it came to math. I think second chapter or there abouts

In reality, like a good programmer, he was excellent at taking a coherent idea and translating into equations on paper. He could do stats, as he discovered that energy levels are quantized in the search for cavity radiation. He even formulated planck's constant but didn't realize it had any meaning yet.
