"Mathematicians are proud of the fact that, generally, they do their work with a piece of chalk and a blackboard. They value hand-done proofs above all else.

Some mathematicians won't accept computational proofs and insist that a real proof must be done by the human hand and mind, using equations."

-- Margaret Wertheim
