Abstract
It is difficult to give an idea of the vast extent of modern mathematics. This word “extent” is not the right one: I mean extent crowded with beautiful detail – not an extent of mere uniformity such as an objectless plain, but of a tract of beautiful country seen at first in the distance, but which will bear to be rambled through and studied in every detail of hillside and valley, stream, rock, wood, and flower. But, as for everything else, so for a mathematical theory – beauty can be perceived but not explained.– Arthur Cayley (1883)
