About This Quote
Mathematicians are artists in their own way, making patterns that try to solve the underlying problems in our lives. This is what makes them unique. They are able to apply math to any situation, no matter how complex. The same goes for poets. All of their work is based on emotions and feelings that they can tap into when writing.
