> Mathematics is an outlier. Yes, but more illustrative of the innovation, because it's pure creativity, you don't need many resources apart from pen, paper, and time (at least historically that was the case). Which is very different from many other sciences where you often need high level access to expensive equipment or other resources, which you won't get right away, but typically after you prove your worth (which takes years).
