I actually do get mathematical insights, initially in pictorial form. Like the nth difference of the nth degree is n! And if you want, I'll send you an article I'm working on that shows an easy way to find all square numbers that are also triangular numbers. The series begins, 1, 8, 49, 288, 1681, 9800, 57121, 332928... I love number theory. Many artists do. It's very close to the way artists think. Granted, I'm not a mathematician. But maybe closer in that direction than people who don't think visually. By your reasoning, Pythagoras was not mathematician either. Just a guy playing with pebbles. cheers, pat --- from list phillitcrit-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
