see, elegance is a subjective property. i agree with sisyphus, it is elegant it is both simple, functional, correct and the rest of mathematics stems from it. all others would not exist if it were not for that equation.

I agree that elegance is subjective. In my opinion, I feel that simplicity is the most elegant thing in mathematics. Complexity can lead to more room for errors. But...that is just my opinion. Your opinion may differ, his opinion may differ, their opinion may differ. Again, its subjective.

My sentimental fave has always been a[math]^{2}[/math] + b[math]^{2}[/math] = c[math]^{2}[/math]
