Not Only Truth But Supreme Beauty

It’s simple, really. To read and understand everything on this page would require a great deal of specialized knowledge. You might have it, you might not. But you do not need to understand art to appreciate it. If a proof is beautiful enough, the words on the page are as elegant as the ideas they chain together. I am not a master artist; I cannot always provide these beautiful proofs. But on some days I peer deeply into the abstractions which on others I carelessly banter about; I want you to be there on those days, that you may share my joy. Not all art provokes the same emotion, not all pieces touch the same people; so it is with proofs. Don’t get discouraged if the first three don’t work for you. Rather, read proofs until you know how to appreciate them, then seek out the one that you can feel.
