He argues that individual mathematicians and communities of mathematicians will have preferred choices from this list. Some, like Hardy, will reject some (Hardy claimed that applied mathematics is ugly). However, Rentuya Sa and colleagues compared the views of British mathematicians and undergraduates and Chinese mathematicians on the beauty of 20 well known equations and found a strong measure of agreement between their views.

Moreover, mathematicians seem resistant to revising their judgment of the beauty of a mathematical formula in light of contradictory opinion given by their peers.
