Abstract: Abstract I admit that each and every thing remains in its state until there is reason for change. (Leibniz) The mathematician’s pattern’s, like those of the painter’s or the poet’s, must be beautiful, the ideas, like the colours or the words, must fit together in a harmonious way. There is no permanent place in the world for ugly mathematics. (Hardy)
