Engineers see a problem and immediately apply a practical solution. Fire? Extinguish it. Mathematicians, however, identify the theoretical solution but never actually implement it. "This fire extinguisher is the solution" followed by "Now back to my email!" while the office continues to burn. Pure mathematics in a nutshell—elegant theories with zero concern for real-world application. The gap between theoretical brilliance and practical implementation has claimed many offices... and research grants.
