Lipman Bers over wiskundige gedichten

… mathematics is very much like poetry … what makes a good poem — a great poem — is that there is a large amount of thought expressed in very few words. In this sense formulas like $e^{\pi i}+1=0$ or $\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} e^{-x^2} \, dx = \sqrt{\pi}$ are poems.
