Thought of the week:
--------------------
"The mathematician's patterns, like the painter's or the poet's
must be beautiful... Beauty is the first test: there is no permanent
place in the world for ugly mathematics.. The best mathematics is
'serious' as well as beautiful... THe 'seriousness' of a mathematical
theorem lies, not in its practical consequences, which are usually
negligible, but in the significance of the mathematical ideas which it
connects."
- Hardy (mathematician)
from The world of Mathematics, James R. Newman
