Agreed. The OP's assertion is questionable. I don't know how good of a mathematician I am, but I've certainly used computers in all sorts of ways: CAS, plots, numerical experiments, wikis/blogs/QA sites... You use whatever you can. Proof assistants are having a bit of a breakthrough as well, while previously they were associated with "inelegant" proofs or non-mainstream stuff for mathematicians. Mandelbrot talked about an anti-computer snobbery that permeated mathematical culture in university mathematics departments in the '70s, and how he overcame it and produced the famous Mandelbrot set. |
