REAL MATHEMATICS“Mathematics, rightly viewed, possesses not only
truth, but supreme beauty—a beauty cold and austere, like that of sculpture, without appeal to any part of our
weaker nature, without the gorgeous trappings of painting or music, yet sublimely pure, and capable of a
stern perfection such as only the greatest art can show.”
-- Bertrand Russell, The Study of Mathematics

A SOLUTION
“Mathematics is not a careful march down a well-cleared highway, but a journey into a strange
wilderness, where the explorers often get lost. Rigor should be a signal to the historian that the
maps have been made, and the real explorers have gone elsewhere.”
-- W.S. Anglin, Mathematics and History
