Nu reinventăm roata, alții inaintea mea au hotărât că, de exemplu, calculul diferențial e un instrument util și mi l-au predat când eram student Când demonstrăm un rezultat matematic nu o facem decât rareori “de la cap la coadă”, folosim rezultate pe care alții le-au demonstrat. Nu e nimic colectivist in asta, așa funcționează societatea. Demonstrația conjecturii ABC, despre care s-ar putea să fi citi deja prin alte locuri ridică o problemă filosofică interesantă: in ce măsură o demonstrație matematică aparent importantă (și dificilă) e suficientă “in sine” atunci când nu e acompaniată de explicații pentru comunitate, este demonstrarea unui rezultat matematic (și) un construct social ?
