摘要
We present two different proofs of Pick's theorem commonly held to be beautiful and attempt to identify features that give rise to the sensation of beauty. In particular, we discuss two concepts, generality and specificity, that appear to contribute to beauty in different ways. We also discuss possible implications of this work for the teaching of mathematics, especially in countries in which discussions of beauty and aesthetics are notably absent from curricular documents.
