Alexei Maxim Russell
“Yes," I continued, "I discovered this model recently and her style never fails to be mathematically perfect. She seems to come by it naturally. As if she were born resonant. I notice Japanese models tend to do this. Like I said, they seem to have resonance somewhere deep in their culture. But Yuri Nakagawa, she's the best I've ever seen. The best model, with the most powerful resonance. I need her to probe deeper
into this profound mathematical instinct, which I call resonance.”
Alexei Maxim Russell, Trueman Bradley: The Next Great Detective

George Pólya
“The elegance of a mathematical theorem is directly proportional to the number of independent ideas one can see in the theorem and inversely proportional to the effort it takes to see them.”
George Pólya, Mathematical Discovery on Understanding, Learning, and Teaching Problem Solving, Volume I
