Abstract
A collection of essays intended to show the range of power in applying pure mathematics to human systems. There are two types of essay: those which employ tranditional mathematical proof, and those which do not. As mathematical proof may itself be regarded as art, the former style of essay might represent "traditional" art, and the latter "surrealist" art.
