Doron Zeilberger over bewijzen en computerprogramma’s
I used to think that in order to understand a mathematical statement I needed a proof. Nonsense. While the top 10 percent of proofs do indeed give insight, most of them are just boring strings of assertions that lead from hypothesis to conclusion. Myself, when I want to understand something, I program it! Including proofs!
