We here address the question of the extent to which judgments of mathematical beauty (which we categorize as biological beauty) are resistant to revision through external opinion. A total of 100 mathematicians of different national and ethnic origins were asked to rate 60 mathematical equations for their beauty; after being presented a fictitious "expert rating," they were asked to re-rate the same equations. Results showed that the judgments of mathematical beauty had a high level of resistance to external opinion. This is in line with the resistance to revision of a judgments for other categories of biological beauty.
我们在这里探讨了数学之美（我们将其归类为生物之美）在多大程度上能够抵御外部意见的修正。我们邀请了 100 名来自不同国家和种族的数学家，让他们对 60 个数学方程式的美观程度进行评分；在展示了一个虚构的“专家评分”后，我们要求他们重新对相同的方程式进行评分。结果表明，数学之美的判断具有很高的抵御外部意见修正的能力。这与其他类别的生物之美判断的修正阻力是一致的。
