People who like maths, dont you know that the universe is a more magical place.....

....if you describe it using poetry instead of using numbers?

Also maybe you wont be so uptight, fidgety and anxious all the time. And you will probably get invited to more parties too.

I do hoe this helps

An elegant algorithm has all the beauty of poetry to a mathematician.
Likewise, they can find awe and beauty in the mathematical structures in nature.

We all have far more to us than just one thing.

A mathematician is always much more than just numbers person,
and most can always find plenty to talk about, ask and listen to.

@hartfire I have found that in general, mathematicians are reasonably well versed in the humanities, and many participate in the performing arts, especially music. But people in the arts and humanities are less prone to see the beauty of mathematics. The irony is that they believe it is the mathematicians who are aesthetically challenged.

@DrWatson Ha ha! :D
Well put! :)
That's true in my experience too.
