THE TREE OF MATHEMATICS
Floor 4
“
Dear visitor,
at the end of this “passeggiata” between one of the most fascinating adventures of human thought, the wish is that the Visit to the Museum raises in you the desire to deepen the knowledge of this lush and perennial tree.
Conquistarne the summit is a laborious enterprise but, as you climb, the horizon widens and the panorama that you see takes away your breath; it finally proves a sense of freedom and unspeakable fulfillment.
The words of the Bertrand Russell
“The mathematics, seen from the right angle, does not only possess the truth, but the supreme beauty: a cold and austere beauty, like that of sculpture, a beauty that does not appeal to our grossest feelings, that does not have the dazzling ornaments of music or painting, a pure and sublime beauty, capable of the rigorous perfection that is proper only to the greatest art.”
Come on, man, you start climbing the wonderful Mathematics tree.
The founder of the Museum
