The speaker thinks software-engineering concepts such as modules, interfaces, and interactions help mathematicians understand mathematics in new ways.

“What's the kind of the internals? And so I think mathematicians found it useful to think about mathematics in this kind of software engineering, you know, kind of way of thinking about, okay, you know, what are the different modules?”

“What are the pieces? How do they interact? What are the, the interfaces? I think that they found that this gave them a way of coming back and, and understanding, you know, the mathematics in, in, in new and interesting ways.”
