Mathematical knowledge is unlike any other knowledge. While our perception of the physical world can always be distorted, our perception of mathematical truths can’t be. They are objective, persistent, necessary truths.

And what’s also amazing is that we own all of them. No one can patent a mathematical formula, it’s ours to share.

It’s too precious to be given away to the “initiated few.” It belongs to all of us.
