"One of  the biggest problems of mathematics is how to explain to everyone else what it is all about. The technical trapping of the subjects, its symbolism and  formality, its baffling terminology, its apparent delight in lengthy calculations; these tend to obscure its real nature. A musician would be horrified if his art were to be summed up as "a lot of tadpoles drawn on a row of lines"; but that's all that the untrained eye can see in a page of sheet music. In the same way, the symbolism of mathematics is merely its coded form, not its substance."

- Ian Stewart - on the beauty of mathematics
