Mathematical beauty (nonfiction)

Mathematical beauty describes the notion that some mathematicians may derive aesthetic pleasure from their work, and from mathematics in general.

They express this pleasure by describing mathematics (or, at least, some aspect of mathematics) as beautiful.

"Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only truth, but supreme beauty — a beauty cold and austere, without the gorgeous trappings of painting or music."

—Bertrand Russell
