It seems to me that mathematics is capable of an artistic excellence as great as that of any music, perhaps greater; not because the pleasure it gives (although very pure) is comparable, either in intensity or in the number of people who feel it, to that of music, but because it gives absolute perfection that combination, characteristic of great art, of god like freedom, with the senseof inevitable destiny; because, in fact, it constructs an ideal world where everything is perfect and yet true.

The thing I like about maths is it never changes. Languages evolve, die out, get bastardised etc, facts get proved or disproved, but 1+1 will always = 2 It'd be the perfect universal language, if we could all learn to speak binary!

Can you tell me why my maths teacher always seemed to want to substitute letters for numbers Cav?? This always seemed to make things overly complex and be slightly pointless!!
.......... maths, tis a silly subject!! ;D

Maths is the only constant that we can cling to in an ever changing world. Also everything in life can be formulated!

But that's the beauty of language that it evolves and it's subjective. Can a mathematic equation make you smile? If it does you should seek help.

One of my Maths teachers names was Mr Packer, we called him Fudgepacker and he had BO so bad you could smell him coming a mile away.

You're correct. Maths is the only constant that we can cling to in an ever changing world. Also everything in life can be formulated! Cav + Rock = Brain injury Depends who we're thrown at, and at what velocity and angle. Point of impact is important as well!

maths main function in school was to exercise the brain, and to see if you could remember formulas.

Maths also eveolves and new equations/formulas are constantly being discovered! Difference is that you can't pollute Mathematics like you can language!

'Maths is for dullards and squares' it's true.
There's no room for free expression in Maths.
