"Look at that figure" is a short essay by Simon Colton on mathematics and art.
Excerpt
In the mathematical reasoning group at Edinburgh University, we are looking at why some pure mathematics results are more interesting than others. Understanding "interestingness" is a key factor in our project to build mathematical theories by computer. Our program, called HR after the number theory pioneers Godfrey Hardy and Srinivasa Ramanujan, starts with simple concepts such as addition and subtraction, then invents new concepts, finds examples and suggests and proves theorems.
