“There was a footpath leading across the fields to New Southgate, and I used to go there alone to watch the sunset and contemplate suicide. I did not, however, commit suicide because I wished to know more about mathematics.” — Bertrand Russell — It’s so mystical when you leave home in the morning in the snow. Snowflakes fly around in the measureless universe, falling to the ground and blanketing the ground. Or a snowflake landing on your nose.

Students tend to hear one thing copiously, which is that “you can never divide a number by zero.” And once they enter high school, they hear the phrase “a number divided by zero yields an undefined result.” almost daily. — In the world of mathematics, every operation and its result has a very rational explanation because mathematics is built upon a foundation of very simple and essentially bulletproof principles. …

On a snowy day in London, as he was lying in bed and gazing at the ceiling, Sherlock Holmes’ mind was once again at work trying to crack yet another case. It wasn’t long before Dr. Watson came knocking at the door and described a most peculiar murder case to…

The question of how mathematicians think is closely related to the question “How does a musician compose?” Similarly, this question is asked to learn how the creative process works.
