The Importance of Empathy and Exposure to Disparate Fields for Mathematicians
Mathematicians can benefit from having exposure to different fields and analogies, which allows them to draw connections and find creative solutions. The more analogies available, the more potential breakthroughs can occur. Collaboration and conferences play a crucial role in fostering these connections. The idea is to have mathematicians remain connected to the classroom and teaching environments to maintain empathy with learners and continue refining their teaching methods.
