that's cool, I've been Pavlov'd by experience to go into math defense mode quickly. I like the cartoon though, gotta love Calvin and Hobbes

It's not just me being weird when I call maths a creative art: there has been a scientific study which confirms that mathematicians respond to elegant maths in the same way that people respond to other arts.

By pretending it's more artistic than it really is to bolster their weak self image?

Seriously though Charles, if you think I'm exaggerating in order to hipsterise maths you're misreading things. It's just estranging to really enjoy the beauty and creativity of something, while so many people are not only dismissive but actually hostile towards it because of the stigma around maths and bad teaching. Kind of makes you want to go MATHS CAN BE FUN AND PRETTY I SWEAR
