   What is a mathematician's apology?

   • A Mathematician's Apology is a 1940 essay by British mathematician G. H. Hardy which defends the pursuit of mathematics for its own sake. Central to Hardy's "apology" – in the sense of a formal justification or defence (as in Plato 's Apology of Socrates) – is an argument that mathematics has value independent of its applications.

   Is it possible to justify the life of a professional mathematician?

   • It is not possible to justify the life of any genuine professional mathematician on the ground of the 'utility'of his work. But here I must deal with a misconception. It is sometimes suggested that pure mathema ticians glory in the uselessness of their work*, and make it a boast that it has no practical applications.

   Who are the'real' mathematicians?

   • I count Maxwell and Einstein, Eddington and Dirac, among ‘real’ mathematicians. The great modern achievements of applied mathematics have been in relativity and quantum mechanics, and these subjects are, at present at any rate, almost as ‘useless’ as the theory of numbers.

   What makes a play a pure mathematician?

   • The play is independent of the pages on which it is printed, and ‘pure geometries’ are independent of lecture rooms, or of any other detail of the physical world. This is the points of view a pure mathematician.

   What if a man is a real mathematician?

   • Ifa man is in any sense a real mathematician, then it is a hundred to one that his mathematics will be far better than anything else he can do, and that he would be silly if he surrendered any decent opportunity of exercising his one tal~nt in order to do undisJinguished work in other fields.

   Was a mathe matician a creative artist?

   • When A Mathe matician's Apology was first published, Graham Greene in a review wrote that along with Henry James's notebooks, this was the best account of what it was like to be a creative artist. Thinking I believe that is the clue. He was born, in 1877, into a modest professional family.

   Is mathematics, what I and other mathematicians mean by mathematics, worth doing; and if so, why? I have been looking again at the first pages of the inaugural lecture which I gave at Oxford in 1920, where there is an outline of an apology for mathematics.

   That is why A Mathematician's Apology is, if read with the textual attention it deserves, a book of haunting sadness. Yes, it is witty and sharp with intellectual high spirits : yes, the crystalline clarity. 50 and candour are still there: yes, it is the testament ofa creative artist.
