One should have to go through the process of concepts, presentation, expression, graphs, charts and models for final destination. I also liked the quote "Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want!" <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11614026283434675115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497628230127885101.post-76658716175984330542016-10-29T07:49:54.094+05:002016-10-29T07:49:54.094+05:00What has this to do with this post?

The mind-maps and similar graphical models become unwieldy when detail and complexity increases. <br /><br />Your question whether beauty, elegance as well as brevity conciseness and preciseness are achievable in a single problem is a million dollar observation. If you go through the link of post related to Dijkstra's "Beauty is our business", you will see that not only he but all his disciples not only believe in it, but practice it, and have written books on this. I too have come round to become a believer in this philosophy of his as mentioned in that post, although my supervisor belonged to the opposing camp.

However, for more rigorous work use graphical methods underlying which there is a mathmatical formalism such as "owl" type ontologies. As mentioned in my post, flow charts are good as long as we have at most 10-20 concepts. The moment you have ten thousands of these and you are done with pictorial views.

I have personally used them in my study life and still use them. They are helpful in giving the big picture in short period of time. <br /><br />I have used them with subjects like Economics and Law. I have taught Maths in school, but did not see a great application of mind maps in solving mathematical problems, though more organized approach such as flow charts were better alternativesAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17989077354441938164noreply@blogger.com
