The essential feature of mathematical creativity is the exploration, under the pressure of powerful implosive forces, of difficult problems for whose validity and importance the explorer is eventually held bound by. The reality is the physical world."
— Alfred W. Adler, “Reflections: Mathematics and Creativity”, New Yorker (1972)
