   18 July 1940. 1. It is a melancholy experience for a professional mathematician to find himself writing about mathematics. The function of a mathematician is to do something, to prove new theorems, to add to mathematics, and not to talk about what he or other mathema-ticians have done.

   As I had plenty of opportunities to realize in the future, Hardy had no faith in intuitions or impressions, his own or anyone else's. The only way to assess someone's knowledge, in Hardy's view, was to examine him. That went for mathe matics, literature, philosophy, politics, anything you like.

   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 Greek mathematics a real thing?

   • Oriental mathematics may be an interesting curiosity, but Greek mathematics is the real thing. The Greeks first spoke a language which modern mathematicians can understand: as Littlewood said to me once, they are not clever schoolboys or ‘scholarship candidates’, but ‘Fellows of another college’.

   Is there a real case for mathematics?

   • Any genuine mathematician must feel that it is not on these crude achievements that the real case for mathematics rests, that the popular reputation of mathematics is based largely on ignorance and confusion, and there is room for a more rational defence. At any rate, I am disposed to try to make one.

   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.
