      Sorry, but I’ve never seen engineers perform beautiful, artistics calculations - it was mostly to meet the end. Meanwhile, mathematicians do tons of them which are beautiful.

        This is why I love comp sci. I hated math all through undergrad and only started to love it when I got much deeper into my career. I’m bad at calculations and find them tiring.

        A beautiful, well written bit of code has a lot in common with a beautiful formula. And it has the huge advantage that the computer does all the tedious, error prone number crunching for me! That way I can focus just on the beauty of all the errors in my methodology, not my execution.
