How sad to think of a post industrial division of labour for mathematicians.
- ukj 5y agoMathematics in isolation is a social anti-pattern. Individuals keep arriving at the same conclusions, but they invent different notations/languages to express those results. Communication stalls. Tribes form around languages/styles of expression. It's much much worse than wheel re-inventing too. It takes a very long time to figure out that two Mathematical constructions/notations are equivalent. It took decades for somebody to notice that proofs are programs.
