I once had the idea of collecting mathematical ideas here, but recently the attention has been given to my wiki: Maths: Everything I Know; that does not mean I will never return here to add content, but right now the wiki is the place to be for up to date content.

It has been said that mathematics is one of the most beautiful of all human achievements. It has also been said; "When am I ever going to use this?".

I do not know what produces this powerful dichotomy of perspectives within us; but I do know that mathematics is indeed powerful, beautiful, and at times frustrating.
