Mathematics is Beautiful. And is Everywhere!. Mathematics is everywhere. Love, Love, Love. J.H.Poincare (1854-1912). The mathematician does not study pure mathematics because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it and he delights in it because it is beautiful.

Mathematical Proof • Creativity • Determination • Intuition • Beauty • Immortality
Mathematics as a Language Galileo Galilei (1564-1642) “The great book of nature can be read only by those who know the language in which it was written. And this language is Mathematics.”
Solve Cube one-third the coefficient of x; add to it the square of one-half the constant of the equation; and take the square root of the whole. You will duplicate this, and to one of the two you add one-half the number you have already squared and from the other you subtract one-half the same... Then, subtracting the cube root of the first from the cube root of the second, the remainder which is left is the value of x (Gerolamo Cardano, Ars Magna, 1545).
Rules • Need to be clear and concise • Highly abstract and technical • Symbolic language • Does not consist of formula alone
Word: is! • 5 is the square root of 25 • 5 is less than 10 • 5 is a prime number
