Relative to most, I've done a lot of math. I have an entire bookshelf dedicated to it, subscribed to journals for a number of years. I worked in cryptography for a while.
The only things I ever think are "why is this presented in such a convoluted manner" or "Why is this so poorly written".
The idea of "beautiful" is so remarkably far removed from the situation --- it would be as if people said they found it sexually arousing.

Weirldy, that could be the reason. Doing something beautiful (art, math, etc) for $ usually ends up corrupting it for the person. I did not mean any offense.

To me, there is no possible connection.
