RE: Interviewing the SteemSTEM Curators - @mathowl
This is so owlsome.
Q - What does Mathematics mean to you?
A - It is a form of art where the requirement is truth and goal is beauty.
I just interpreted this literally... Maths is art? Would I be right to call it "the science of art"? 😂😂
I guess math is a different from other sciences since other sciences want to predict the physical world. Any equation describing the physical world does not have to be beautiful to gain recognition. In maths results which have no deep meaning have no real value. So in some sense the underlying questions in math have some relation to the underlying questions in art.

It actually depends on how you interpret the concept of different sciences!
I remember when they told us in Faculty that "The art of medicine consists of amusing the patient while nature cures the disease"
So technically, yes! You could call it the "science of art" lol
