Even if you are shown the sheet music for a famous piece of music, an ordinary person will not feel any joy or emotion. Even if you are given the recipe for a delicious meal, you will not be able to imagine what it will turn into. In the same way, there are many people who find beautiful mathematical theories to be dry and tasteless just from looking at the mathematical formulae.
Mathematical theory is true beauty in every detail. This beauty is not overturned by the principle of majority rule, and it does not change over time. Furthermore, this beauty cannot be possessed even with billions of dollars. However, it is a shared property of human knowledge that can be obtained free of charge by anyone who wishes to do so.
However, the difficulty is that it is difficult to enjoy this beauty because it is colorless and transparent.
To overcome this difficulty, we have used various methods to give concrete expression to this beauty, so that you can experience mathematics with all five or six senses.
Please look at them and touch them directly and take a journey through the space of your thoughts. Who knows, your perspective on mathematics may change 180 degrees.
