Art + God = Math
It’s not every day that I accidentally write a blog post which triggers an extended meditation on frontiers of the philosophy of mathematics capable of bending the uninitiated mind into a beautifully calisthenic pretzel. So hopping up and down I point you most energetically toward The Reactionary Epicurian’s dazzling account of the Stages of Mathematical Development. I’m Stage 0. What stage are you?
Neither God nor Man seem to have died at Yale quite yet. The Yale Mafia is so in the running for my coolest undergrad posse of geniuses award.

Interesting post. I really don’t buy the Geometric Intuition stage. I always saw this as some people have a natural bent for geometry and others for analysis, and as you you progress through the various stages of post-calculus math, this becomes obvious.
