I think this difference is down to the barriers to entry. To innovate in mathematics all you need is pencil and paper, to innovate in architecture you need to convince old rich bastards to build your idea.
- ordu 9y agoI think, that mathematics constructed by the way, that makes it difficult to be experienced adult and innovative. Math needs fresh idea, new angle to look on old problem, but the more you study math, the more you are bound to already discovered angles of view. Not every area of knowledge has this property. I believe the less formal theory in particular area, the more valuable adult as innovator. When there is no theory to structure experience by the way everyone does, you would need to invent your own personalized informal theory. Such a personalization is a key to unique ideas and therefore to innovation. Though this is just one more factor, like "old rich bastards". Reality is much more complex than that.
