*Francis Su* # Progressive Summary # Definitions # Chapter Notes ## Chapter 1 - Flourishing > A society without mathematical affection is like a city without concerts, parks, or museums. To miss out on mathematics is to live without an opportunity to play with beautiful ideas and see the world in a new light. To grasp mathematical beauty is a unique and sublime experience that everyone should demand. > I claim that the proper practice of mathematics cultivates virtues that help people flourish. These virtues serve you well no matter what profession you choose or where your life takes you. ## Chapter 2 - Exploration > Brainstorming necessarily generates fancifully wrong ideas, but even wrong ideas soften the soil in which good ideas can grow. # Quotes # References
