主题：【笔记】戴狄金分割（Dedekind Cut） -- frnkl

Recently I had a chance to see the movie Enigma, a romance on top of a security encryption story from World War II. The main mathematician was asked whether he liked math. His answer: “I like numbers, because in numbers the truth and beauty emerge. You find out, you are walking in the right direction when everything becomes nicer. And then the numbers get you closer to the secret matter of all things.” I can hardly imagine better glorification of the Greeks’ ideal of truth, beauty, and elegance. How deeply inside of most of us the feeling that these three belong together has to be, when a sentence like this appears in a romantic movie for nonscientists.
