Mathematicians and their collaborators discuss the joys and challenges of working together on projects in science and the arts
When researchers collaborate across disciplines, their partnerships can spark insights that wouldn’t be possible without the interrogation of ideas from many perspectives. Yet these collaborations can be challenging to forge and maintain.
I thought that maybe Dominique could help to organize a project with mathematicians who are also crafts-people. I contacted her and she was game. Scientists who have never worked with mathematicians don’t really know what mathematicians do. They often don’t see mathematics as a creative framework. They might have a complicated computation or model that they don’t understand, and be looking for help.
We all led, and we all followed. In a collaboration, you need to accept that your ideas won’t always be accepted. If you absolutely want something to happen, you need to be able to prove your point. As a chemist, I’ve been thinking about molecules and water moving across the interface of water and coffee particulates. My group made some experimental observations, that if we ground the beans at certain coarseness settings, we saw large variance in how much coffee material was extracted. But we didn’t have a good way of modelling or understanding what was happening.
