1. Eight mathematical beasts include: Schrodinger's cat, Maxwell's demon, Laplacian's beast, Zhi Nuo's turtle, Allen Turing machine, Hilbert Building, Godel's ruler and Dai Dejin's knife.
2. These beasts correspond to different mathematical theories and viewpoints. For example, Schrodinger's cat corresponds to the wave function collapse theory in quantum mechanics, Maxwell's demon corresponds to the second law of thermodynamics, Laplacian beast represents the determinism view in classical mechanics, and Zhi Nuo's tortoise represents the paradox of ancient Greek philosopher Zhi Nuo.
