Rénti also famously said, "If I feel unhappy, I do mathematics to become happy. If I am happy, I do mathematics to keep happy."

#OTD in 1811, Carl Friedrich Gauss made the following observation to Wilhelm Bessel: "One should never forget that the functions, like all mathematical constructions, are only our own constructions."
However, the Möbius strip has been known for centuries prior to the mathematical discovery by Möbius & Listing. Several Roman mosaics from the 3rd century CE depict Möbius strips – although there is no evidence that the one-sidedness of these artistic depictions was intentional.
The Möbius strip is named after August Ferdinand Möbius, who was born #OTD in 1790. In 1858, Möbius attributed this non-orientable two-dimensional surface with only one side as a mathematical object. Johann Listing make the same discovery independently that same year.
