The arts vs the sciences, brain chemistry and creativity?
Some people are good with crunching numbers. They are good at things like math, chemistry, physics and programming (which is mainly math). Let’s call this A.
Now on to B: Other people are good with art, music, and poetry.
Where does creativity play a part in all of this? Is creativity a third eye that B has which allows those people to be good at what they do?
I am a programmer. I can crunch numbers and I love math, but for example, I take the same highway everyday and I don’t really “see” how the whole highway system is laid out. This analogy was told to me by one of my math professors when he made a joke comparing the A and B I’m thinking about.
I know that people who draw can “see” the image in their head, while I for example tend to see everything not so much as numbers but as a computer program.
I don’t have a concrete question to ask. I basically want to learn more about specific differences in personality or in the brain that cause this.
mathematics requires a lot of creativity, especially for researchers and advanced math. All math theory was once constructed by some mathematician.
At the basic level you can see that when you solve a problem that is not a routine problem. You have some pathways that you choose and from these possible solutions, by trial and error, you find the one which is correct.
