Description:

Mathematics, possibly due to its intrinsic abstraction, is considered to be a
merely intellectual subject, and therefore extremely remote from everyday
human activities. Surprisingly, this idea is sometimes found not only among
laymen, but among working mathematicians as well. So much so that mathematicians
often talk about pure mathematics as opposed to applied mathematics
and sometimes attribute to the former a questionable birthright.
