Most mathematicians would agree that to be beautiful a formula must be unexpected, concise and useful – in the rarefied sense that professional mathematicians recognise.

Founded in 1888, to further mathematical research and scholarship, the 30,000-member American Mathematical Society provides programs and services that promote mathematical research and its uses, ...
