• Resumen

  • Mullins offers his views on what constitute beautiful mathematics. He claims that a piece of mathematics must give some important or original insight to be beautiful. The beauty of mathematics can be cold and austere, when viewed in a particular way. But viewed in another, it can be rich and war, funny and sad, romantic and profound.
