Young, J. W. A.

Mathematics has
beauties of its own
-- a symmetry and
proportion in its
results, a lack of
superfluity, an
exact adaptation of
means to ends, which
is exceedingly
remarkable and to be
found only in the
works of the
greatest beauty.
When this subject is
properly ...
presented, the
mental emotion
should be that of
enjoyment of beauty,
not that of
repulsion from the
ugly and the
unpleasant.
