The Beauty of Equations
Paul Dirac
"The laws of nature should be expressed in beautiful equations"
He combined quantum mechanics and special relativity to explain how electrons behave
Einstein struggled to master tensor calculus when working on the general theory of relativity
"Most equations are messy, ugly, complicated, bound to give you headache"
Jim Al-Khalili explains the satisfaction he felt when his pages and pages of dense algebra reduced to a set of neat equations that TOLD him something new about the workings of nature.
"Get the code clean and let it TELL us what to do", Woody Zuill
Mathematical equations are the language of physics
Beautiful equations are derived, by laborious process using mathematical tools
Simplification happens at the end
Beauty of equation transcend culture and time
What is Beauty in Mathematics ?
Beauty satisfies the craving of the mind for regularity, simplicity and predictability
Code is the language of our software
Clean code emerges, by constant refactoring using technical tools
Cleanliness happens at the end: "make it work, make it clean"
Clean code transcend culture and time
What is Clean Code ?
Clean code satisfies the craving of the mind for regularity, simplicity and predictability
Does quest for beauty lead to clean code?
