Curious Cat Question

Cuius rei demonstrationem mirabilem sane detexi. Hanc marginis exiguitas non caperet.

There are some who get a particular high when writing. And there are others who get a high in proving mathematical equations.

Coming off from watching {proof} last night, I felt a profound sadness that despite my affinity for words, I would never be able to feel the same with the world of numbers. But it's there: I once saw a book about Fermat's Last Theorem and was struck dumb by the idea that a story about a mathematical equation would prove alluring for me.

Do you feel the same?
