Quote of the day
The mathematician's patterns, like the painter's or the poet's must be beautiful; the ideas, like the colours or the words must fit together in a harmonious way. Beauty is the first test: there is no permanent place in the world for ugly mathematics.

[And yet,] mathematlcs is the key to understanding and mastering our physical, social and biological worlds.
