Scientific paper

I teach physics, mathematics, and astronomy at an art college. The idea of cross-disciplinary education is a natural one in this setting, and I have participated in such in the past. I have found it more useful, however, to show students the creativity involved in my subjects. This is done in two ways. First, I frequently point out the creativity involved in coming up with an idea we study. Second, I show how scientists and mathematicians are dealing with many of the same existential questions as are artists, just in a different fashion. These two approaches allow students to see the deep connections between science and mathematics, and their art.
