And that's a great degree true through all of history -- mathematicians are always messing around with concepts simply because they're interesting Pythagoras would call it "sacred" while today someone might just say "elegant" But the applications don't drive the work

Boolean logic, for instance, is very important NOW, it's foundational to computer science and the whole world of software engineering But it certainly wasn't when George Boole was alive in the 19th century So why'd he spend so much time on it

It’s complicated. For instance, it appears that trial and error resulted in a formula explaining the optimal relationship between the size and shape of the torsion bar in a catapult and it’s effectiveness. But once discovered that formula guided further development.
