From ancient Greek investigations about the principles behind the order of the universe, to Newton pondering an apple falling to earth in the 17th century, down to the 20th century study of particles, mathematicians have built on the work of those who came before them. By finding order and "making the complex simple," math is very appealing.
從希臘探討宇宙秩序的法則，到十七世紀牛頓發現「蘋果為何會掉下來」的定律，到二十世紀的量子力學等，經過多少先人驗證，數學這個學科找出秩序，「馭繁為簡」的美學的確令人神往。
