When something is beautiful in math, everything is just perfectly lined up, and you see through sheer thought that something really beautiful can take place.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
To emphasize only the beautiful seems to me to be like a mathematical system that only concerns itself with positive numbers.
On A Beautiful Mind, there was a wall of math.
Mathematics are the result of mysterious powers which no one understands, and which the unconscious recognition of beauty must play an important part. Out of an infinity of designs a mathematician chooses one pattern for beauty's sake and pulls it down to earth.
One of the pleasures of looking at the world through mathematical eyes is that you can see certain patterns that would otherwise be hidden.
Mathematics is the most beautiful and most powerful creation of the human spirit.
The traditional mathematician recognizes and appreciates mathematical elegance when he sees it. I propose to go one step further, and to consider elegance an essential ingredient of mathematics: if it is clumsy, it is not mathematics.
You don't watch 'A Beautiful Mind' and say, 'This is how every mathematician is.'
No matter how correct a mathematical theorem may appear to be, one ought never to be satisfied that there was not something imperfect about it until it also gives the impression of being beautiful.
Mathematics as an expression of the human mind reflects the active will, the contemplative reason, and the desire for aesthetic perfection. Its basic elements are logic and intuition, analysis and construction, generality and individuality.
Artists realise that mathematicians have a way of looking at the world that can make them see things differently.
