"his writings are models of relaxed clarity."

i really like the way this sentence was written it explains how well he could put his thoughts in to words. it is almost like he is a really graceful writer. i always thought math brains were only good at math but he obviously could explain him self through text which is simply beautiful. It makes me think of him as a peaceful man who's mind is very clear as if there is no confusion although this is a great thing to say about him i have a few questions.

question: relaxed clarity can mean alot of things what does it mean in context? also most mathematics geniuses have some type of mental illness did he?

"he calculated without apparent effort, as men breathe, or as eagles sustained themselves in the wind."

when i saw this all i could think is wow i wish i was him if i could calculate like i breathe i would not be stressing over math class..haha. i constantly wonder how some people are naturally good at math. teachers always say it is practice and everyone can be really good at math even though i agree to a point i still think there are people that are born and just good at math and they can pick it up super quick and some people that just don't have the ability.

Question: How is it that he can do this i thought it was something you must learn to do maybe its something you are born with?
