Do you think its strange that i'm a math major and artistic?

Im a math major and im the best at math amongst all of my friends. I am also the most creative and artistic as well. This combo shouldn't normally work. I am brilliant with math, yet I write, draw and think of ideas that no one would ever dream of. Is that a normal combo?

Is It Normal?

  • Totally normal, plenty of scientists and mathematicians find pleasure in the hobby. For as much emphasis is put on the spirituality and emotion of art, it's more about being rational and precise in drawing exactly what you see. I read once that "If you drew it wrong, you were seeing it wrong". My dad is a mechanical engineer, he's never talked about his artistic ability but when he draws things they are very spot on a anatomically correct.

  • people were always trying to pigeon-hole me, but I was great at sports, science, the humanities and arts.

    actually above average people tend to be good at a lot of things

  • The best Math teacher I ever had was also a musician and recording artist. The worst Math teachers I have ever had were only really exclusively good at Math.

    My husband is also artistic and very good at Math, that son of a bitch. Me? I reject my artistic side because I find it to be worthless, but in the truest sense of myself, I artistic and piss poor at Math so I hope to God, genetics and sheer luck that our children inherit the best of the both of us, lest they end up being poor at writing and spelling (like my husband) AND being poor at Math (like me).

  • My mother and sister are artistic, my grandfather and dad were scientific/mathematical. I got both sides of it. People have occasionally thought it was weird and occasionally I've been told that people "are only supposed to be able to do one thing". Kind of ridiculous.

  • I am the same so it sure seems normal to me.

  • Its very rare thing.usualy people are good only in one of the thing.math is logical thinking, artistic is irrational and diff part of brain. people with this combination might become successful. iam artistic, good at drawing,design,photography,dancing, but no good with, talking,soc. interacting,and math is horor for me.i was considered 'primitive' by people with who i worked in shop during school years, as i couldnt count.lol i must have some math disorder probably as well.my mother has the same.

  • I know a very talented mathematician who is extremely artistic. Sounds normal and very familiar to me. ;)

  • I don't see anything wrong with that. I wish I was good at math as well. But I actually have some math disorder apperntley. Got myself tested.

  • No. Sounds like you're just good at two different things. You should be pround of yourself. I wish I was good at math.
