Mathematical beauty

An example of "beauty in method"—a simple and elegant visual descriptor of the Pythagorean theorem.

Mathematical beauty is the aesthetic pleasure derived from the abstractness, purity, simplicity, depth or orderliness of mathematics. Mathematicians may express this pleasure by describing mathematics (or, at least, some aspect of mathematics) as beautiful or describe mathematics as an art form, (a position taken by G. H. Hardy[1]) or, at a minimum, as a creative activity.

Comparisons are made with music and poetry.
