It seems that if one is working from the point of view of getting beauty in one's equations, and if one has really a sound insight, one is on a sure line of progress.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
There is beauty when something works and it works intuitively.
But the beauty of Einstein's equations, for example, is just as real to anyone who's experienced it as the beauty of music. We've learned in the 20th century that the equations that work have inner harmony.
I'm a pretty analytical guy, all right?
When I am working on a problem, I never think about beauty but when I have finished, if the solution is not beautiful, I know it is wrong.
I'm not a very analytical person.
Beauty is the first test: there is no permanent place in the world for ugly mathematics.
There's a beauty to math. Math is so simple. It's just one step after the next.
What finally is beauty? Certainly nothing that can be calculated or measured. It is always something imponderable, something that lies between things.
I have a book out called 'The Beauty Equation' and it discusses how off track we have gone in considering beauty.
As for everything else, so for a mathematical theory: beauty can be perceived but not explained.
