Lol did you think this was clever? You just literally reiterated exactly what I said. See, if you had said "there are many pianists that find beauty in math" - you know like how many mathematicians find beauty in piano concertos - then you'd have me.
- inglor_cz 11mo agoPianists don't find beauty in written maths, but mathematicians don't usually find beauty in sheet music either. It is the performance, accesible to our senses, that can convey beauty even to amateurs. Accidentally - in the parts of maths where the concepts can be visualized, such as fractal theory, non-mathematicians seem to love what they see.

- inglor_cz 11mo agoIt was you who compared music to maths. People in general perceive music as "what is being played" vs. mathematics "what is being written on a page". This is the common concept, but it is incomplete. Music has its boring parts (notation), so does maths, but the general public is prone to confuse maths as a whole with its "sheet music". "when they're navel gazing" Maybe they're just thinking?
