I'd politely disagree. I like the intro in Mumford's text.
"The study of mental objects with reproducible properties is called mathematics."
This is in contrast to science, which is the study of physical objects with reproducible properties.
And it is in contrast to art which is not about being reproducible, but about being unique and personally colored.
Mumford's text is called The Dawning of the Age of Stochasticity https://t.co/nbILzRf8ml https://t.co/nbILzRf8ml
