Abstract

The artist's vision helps decide what should be created; the mathematician's insight what can be created. Yet most people view art as merely decoration, or a reflection of existing reality, while they think of mathematics as just a tool for accurate scientific description. Can more people learn to value and enjoy both art and mathematics? And spend a lifetime exploring them and appreciating them for their own sakes? [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
