Abstract
How can we find beauty in an equation? Readers will certainly have divided opinions about this. Some people will assume the question is ironic: what possible beauty could there be in those incomprehensible squiggles that filled our schoolbooks? But in the view of others who carried on with math after leaving school, and came to enjoy this subject, even making it their life’s work, the simplicity and elegance of certain equations make them beautiful. Quite beautiful, in fact, though in some cases it is difficult to explain the reasons for their beauty. One is surely the strange condensation of reality they conveyed, reality that may be geometrical, physical, biological, or purely ideal. And then there is their flexibility, their applicability to infinite numbers of unexpected situations, as well as their graphic representation.
