My Zen in mathematics

I have got peace in mathematics.
Well mathematics is not similar to engineering and technology. In the sense that Euler did not copy Maclaurin to get the sine, cosine series in his e to the power (i theta). In engineering a gear box idea may be a patent. But in mathematics it is not. It is nature.
So rediscoveries were not affecting me. What was affecting me was the quality and quantity of my ideas. I used to think I am only 10% of the greats in mathematics.
But then yesterday a thought came that though my quality and quantity are less; the fact cannot be denied that my ideas came from a single stream of thought. The golden ratio.
This gave me my Zen. My peace.
Best wishes to my blog readers.
