In this Element we will investigate the apparent preference for pure proofs that has persisted in mathematics since antiquity, alongside a competing preference for impurity. In Section 1, we present two examples of purity, from geometry and number theory. In Section 2, we give a brief history of purity in mathematics. In Section 3, we discuss several different types of purity, based on different measures of distance between theorem and proof. In Section 4 we discuss reasons for preferring pure proofs, for the varieties of purity constraints presented in Section 3. In Section 5 we conclude by reflecting briefly on purity as a preference for the local and how issues of translation intersect with the considerations we have raised throughout this work.</p>...6906855Elements of Purity387472https://www.gandhi.com.mx/elements-of-purity-9781009059572/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/6817229/image.jpg?v=638738175716830000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20259781009059572_W3siaWQiOiI4ZWRkZjhhYi0wMDA4LTQzZTAtOTBmOS02OTQzYjQ4OTU1ZTQiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjQ0MCwiZGlzY291bnQiOjc5LCJzZWxsaW5nUHJpY2UiOjM2MSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6Ildob2xlc2FsZSIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjUtMDEtMjhUMTA6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9781009059572_<p>A proof of a theorem can be said to be pure if it draws only on what is close or intrinsic to that theorem.
