A Mathematician’s Apology

Patterns
◮ Hardy (page 2027): “A mathematician, like a painter or a poet, is a
maker of patterns. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it
is because they are made with ideas.”
◮ What does Hardy mean when he says there is “no permanent place
for ugly mathematics?”
