Hi again. I guess that as a start, I ought to state some quotes from Mathematicians. Quite Unique.
"It is easier to square a circle than to get round a mathematician." -- de Morgan
“A mathematician is a device for turning coffee into theorems.” -- Paul Erdos “There are three kinds of mathematicians; those who can count and those who can't.” "Mathematicians are like Frenchmen: whatever you say to them they translate into their own language and forthwith it is something entirely different." -- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
"To think logically the logically thinkable -- that is the mathematician's aim."--C. J. Keyser
"The mathematician does not study pure mathematics because it is useful; he studies it because he delights in it and he delights in it because it is beautiful." --Henri Poincare
"The mathematician's best work is art, a high perfect art, as daring as the most secret dreams of imagination, clear and limpid. Mathematical genius and artistic genius touch one another."-- Gosta Mittag-Leffler
"A mathematician's reputation rests on the number of bad proofs he has given." -- A. S. Besicovitch
“The essence of mathematics is not to make simple things complicated, but to make complicated things simple.”S. Gudder “Philosophy is a game with objectives and no rules. Mathematics is a game with rules and no objectives.”
"Obvious is the most dangerous word in mathematics." -- E.T. Bell"Small minds discuss persons. Average minds discuss events. Great minds discuss ideas. Really great minds discuss mathematics." "But in the new (math) approach, the important thing is to understand what you're doing, rather than to get the right answer." -- Tom Lehrer
(I would be talking about Tom Lehrer in another post)And finally...
“Mathematics is made of 50 percent formulas, 50 percent proofs, and 50 percent imagination.”
Now ain't that perfect.
Watch this space.
There'll be more posts coming up real soon.

Hi people of the world,
I am Yihan.
Welcome to my blog. I'm currently pursuing my interests in today's fast-paced integrated mathematics.
I won't admit that I only like math and nothing else. I take much interest in playing table tennis, watching documentaries from the
History Channel, listening to music and surfing the net.
I also enjoy spending time working on some mensa puzzles, solving problems of many kinds, the list goes on...
K. Enjoy your time here.
signed off,
Yihan
