The Aesthetic Beauty of Math

The best mathematics, like the best literature, will continue to cause intense emotional satisfaction to thousands of people after thousands of years.

André Weil and G. H. Hardy views on mathematical beauty.

A mathematician, like a painter or a poet, is a maker of patterns,” he wrote. “If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas.” Hardy went on to characterize what makes a mathematical idea worthy: a certain generality, a certain depth, unexpectedness combined with inevitability and economy.
