"Why are artists"

Because they are.

Happy now?

Artists are probably bad at math because they have chosen to do art instead of something more academic in their career.
You can't be good at everything :D

What's your query among those searches?

So artists are bad at math...

Boy do I like to contradict things or what..

I make mandlebulb 4d fractals ..

Here's an example of some of the formulas which together generate this art:



xi = every dimension (x,y,z,w)
i = 1 to 4
if sizei <> 0
xi = xi - frndint(xi/sizei)*sizei (where xi is x,y,... etc. )
rCyz=abs(atan(z.z,z.y));

while (rCyz>pi/sides) {rCyz-=2.*pi/sides; }

z.yz*=cos(rCyz);

tx=y+x; y=y-x;

x=z*sqrt(1/3)+tx*sqrt(2/3);
z=z*sqrt(2/3)-tx*sqrt(1/3);
x' = abs(x+Cx*G)-Cx*G + x*E
if M>0
z' = abs(z+Cz*M)-Cz*H
float m = |z|+|w|
w = 2.0*z*w
z = 2.0*sqr(z)
float n = cabs(z)
z = z*(1-m/n)
a:= Axiom 2
b:= Pow * Axiom 1
r:= sqrt(x*x+y*y+z*z)

n_x=sqrt(a*x*x+r*r)
n_y=sqrt(a*y*y+r*r)
n_z=sqrt(a*z*z+r*r)
n_x=n_x^Pow
n_y=n_y^Pow
n_y=n_y^Pow

theta=atan2(b*fabs(x),r)
phi =atan2(b*fabs(y),r)
tango=atan2(b*fabs(z),r)

x := n_x*cos(Axiom 1*theta+shift)-+Cx*cxm
y := n_y*cos(Axiom 1*phi +shift)-+Cy*cym
z := n_z*cos(Axiom 1*tango+shift)-+Cz*czm

If you search "Why are chess players " we get:

so arrogant
...
so toxic
...
ugly
...
etc...

And I thought we were chick magnets!

Be honest when you saw this the first thing you probably did is went and searched it up yourself...

It started with my friend sending me a image of "why are writers" blah blah blah, then I decided to switch that with my career path and found that.

Artist use different math
