Try reading some Physics books.

Wrong.

Do you appreciate Math now just because it looks pretty? Well, if it has sparked an interest who am I to argue.

And yeah, I think Math is an art, but not because of pretty pictures.



Addition* This is beautiful Math



Maxwell's equations

if you want to see pretty mathematics put into practice then read up heavily on string theory. i'm not a fan of string theory but there is some very impressive math involved. way over my head.

^ This.

You should not need pretty pictures to appreciate the beauty of math. Although it can be a start.

Solve the NS equation, the purest form of beauty when it comes to (the link between physics) and mathematics. Then you're an artist!

i find these more 'beautiful' than einstein's energy-mass equiavlence equation.

Maxwell was a man of tru grit. science will never be like it was in the olden days when everything had to be done in paper and there was no silver ti-83

Yeah I do admire Einstein's energy-mass equation, probably just as much as I do Maxwell's equations. But if we are talking about mathematical "beauty" then the equations on unifying the electric force and the magnetic force do it for me any day.

But there is certainly no arguing that both Einstien's and Maxwell's equations have had an astonishing impact on Physics. You can dig so deep into all of them and get a totally new perspective on the universe.

Did man "create" mathematics to understand his world or is math merely some forgotten language we are slowly deciphering?

the former, imo, which is why i simply don't understand the OP's fucktarded observations.

Tough one, and one that will probably have multiple views.

Personally I wouldn't say we created it, but merely discovered it and advanced on it, using it as a tool, or indeed a language to understand everything. I also wouldn't say we created Math as it is universal (providing you don't live in the singularity of a black hole or anything daft like that), a civilasation in another galaxy for example might be discovering the same laws of quantum mechanics as we are now. So, in that case who created the laws? Niether, they are just there waiting for us to understand and discover.
