Apparently Taylorism here means http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/Taylorism.html http://www.businessdictionary.com/definition/Taylorism.html and not - humorously, where my brain went first - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_series https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_series
- gt_ 9y agoCould someone define it for a non-mathematician? Or would that be Taylorism? EDIT: The businessdictionry.com links explained it well enough. I think this has already been done with creativity, many times over. I imagine it is more harmful to a field like mathematics, though. This is not to say it isn’t a problem. The current state of art school is an atrocity. But, if I’m not mistaken, art has tendency to not only get distracted by the novelty of imitation but to get entirely lost in it, whereas the field of mathematics would have just enough concern for such uninterested forms of curiosity to account for them. This is a lazy account of what maybe Plato would say. Basically, art was screwed in this way from the onset and mathematics has a lot more at stake.
