Abstract
People use mathematics as a language to quantify anything; it gives something grounds on which to be measured or compared. However, there is much more to mathematics than just numbers. The author proposes that mathematics is an art, creative, and has an aesthetic quality. The purpose of the paper is to illustrate that idea that mathematics can be an art as well as a science.
