You might not know it from reading this blog, but I’m very intrigued in the overlap of science and arts. While on the surface they seem to be completely unrelated, in practice logic and creativity tend to combine together in both areas. In my mind, Einstein’s theories are artistic just like Picasso’s paintings are scientific. Neither are about randomly creating something out of intuition, nor are they solely focused on following an algorithm to success.
It’s why I love web media. Designing and developing a web-site (or crafting copy, or implementing SEO, etc.) requires creativity and logic. Principles like the Golden Ratio and the Mandelbrot set show that it isn’t a coincidence, but that nature is a mix of art and science and that the two fields are a lot more related than they appear.
In this video, Music is Math, Glenn Marshall uses a processing program to automatically interpret notes from Boards of Canada song and translate them into animated visual effects that are gorgeous and flow with the song. It’s a perfect example of something that many people consider an art form, but is heavily reliant on math at its core. So, the question becomes, should we start viewing rock stars as math geeks and math geeks as rock stars?
Being a computer engineer, it’s so much fun for me to see this kind of stuff. I love seeing the interactions of math, science, and art. Great stuff.
It’s great to see how math is really a universal language, it’s at the core of science and art. It’s really amazing how math is interwoven into nature. I’ve got a feeling if we ever do make alien contact, we’ll be communicating in math.
I find the marriage between science and art a perfect union. I love it even more when it is simple. By simple I mean an equation that is applicable across a broad spectrum but still can be explained in a few sentences.
Simplicity is also an aim of both science and art. Minimalism is a super effective way to convey meaning in art, and physicists are constantly striving towards a simplified model/equation for the universe. Simplicity also leads to mass education, almost everyone knows that E=MC^2 is the equation behind a nuclear bomb, even if they don’t quite get what it all means.
i am very glad to know that maths is music. really if we think maths as a music then we can solve any mathematical problems.

Venture Funding's Changing Landscape-
While the world rejoices with green shoots becoming real greenbacks with the end of recession declared by the US Fed Chief, the world doesn't look the same for the PE/VC industry. Reports on different aspects of the industry seems to indicate that the collapse of the financial system burnt more than the appetite to invest.
Forbes, for instance, reports that despite the life sciences industry being a picture of expanding horizons and confidence, the traditional providers of venture capital in the United States — university endowments and pension funds — whose assets have been reduced sharply over the last year in the collapse of financial markets, are pulling back. Even successful investors in the life sciences industry are staying away.
According to some reports, institutional investors of PE funds too are abandoning funds and going their own way since they feel that these funds just don't have enough bandwidth or success to justify their high management fee.

Wow! I really like those mixes from science and art!
