The Importance & Beauty of Mathematics

Friday, 22 of February , 2008 at 10:39 pm

I recently found an excellent presentation on Vishal Lama’s blog by Timothy Gowers regarding the importance of Mathematics. From my experience, the general public has a really skewed view of Mathematics. The thought of doing Mathematics for recreation seems absolutely ridiculous to most people. This lecture excellently portrays the beauty of Mathematics and applicability of all areas of Mathematics.

If you want to see the presentation, you can see it on YouTube.
