People and animals, plants, buildings, works of art can be beautiful - but can mathematics be beautiful?
Godfrey Hardy, who called his profession "pure mathematics", left to the world a remarkable and still popular with people all over the world who are fond of exact sciences, the work "Apologia Mathematica", devoted to a kind of "philosophy of mathematics" - pure science, brilliant play of mind, free flight of intellectual imagination, which the author compared to the inspiration of a poet, artist or chess player.
The main object of his admiration, his muse, becomes the theory of numbers - "mathematics for mathematics", the scientific analog of the longtime British favorite "pure art". Mathematics, devoid of applied "triviality" and "ugliness" and beautiful, among other things, by the fact that it is incapable of bringing harm to mankind.
