...may be made between personal and historical creativity, and between creative insights and creative expressions. Examples of personal creativity are the deduction by Blaise Pascal that the angles of a triangle sum to two right angles, at a time that he was quite unaware of Euclid; and the insight that the mathematics subsuming Student's t -test and the chi-square are identical.

What is now thought of as the ‘creativity movement’ had its first stirrings in America in the years after the Second World War.
