    Las matemáticas, al igual que la Música o la Filosofía, existen o progresan gracias a sus cultivadores. Es comprensible que al narrar la historia de las mismas se pueda, y se deba, incluir detalles personales de esos cultivadores. De un matemático no hay detalle personal más destacable que la imagen de su rostro (¡al menos la más difundida!). Sin duda se puede llegar a saber el teorema de Bolzano-Weierstrass’s o el algoritmo de Ricci-Curbastro sin ese requisito pero conociendo los rostros asociados a estos resultados matemáticos se hace evidente que se trata de tres matemáticos y no de dos, ni tampoco de cuatro. En la presente nota aparecen muchos rostros de matemáticos y en torno a los mismos se conversa amablemente, como se haría al encontrarlos adornando una institución académica, en una visita ocasional

    Mathematics, like Music or Philosophy, exist or progress thanks to its cultivators. It is understandable that when narrating their history one can, and should, include personal details of those growers. There is no more remarkable personal detail of a mathematician than the image of his or her face (at least the most widespread!). Undoubtedly, one can get to know the Bolzano-Weierstrass's theorem or the Ricci-Curbastro’s algorithm without this requirement, but knowing the faces associated with these mathematical results it becomes clear that we are dealing with three mathematicians and not with two, nor four. In this note many faces of mathematicians appear and around them we converse kindly, as one would do when finding them adorning an academic institution, on an occasional visit
