Re: Intermediates
cribbed from Wikiwords:Many mathematicians find a philosophical beauty in math. For example, Galileo Galilei said "Mathematics is the language with which God wrote the universe.” This is an example of the belief that mathematics has more in common with discovery than with invention. Mathematicians who share this belief say that the detailed and precise results of mathematics can be seen as true without dependence on the universe we live in. For example, they would argue that the theory of the natural numbers is absolutely true and does not need any specific context. Some mathematicians have extrapolated this viewpoint that mathematical beauty is truth further, in some cases delving into mysticism.
