I don’t know if mathematics could have been different than it is, but as a mathematician, I still see design in mathematics, and plenty of it. The non-mathematician, who may think of mathematics as consisting only of arithmetic and perhaps algebra and geometry, could never imagine the richness that is here, waiting to be discovered, in the many fields and subfields of mathematics. How could he imagine that there are enough interesting and challenging problems to keep thousands of mathematicians busy and entertained throughout their lifetimes? Many Read More ›
