J (mathematician):

“I was thinking of it mainly algorithmically. And I was thinking of it in terms of the maths that you would need to do to wrap the calcium interface into the [Waveform Relaxation] interface.

And then when you made me write it down, I was forced to draw it like this. And this idea would never have come to me, if you hadn’t made me do that.”

Enhances design problem solving by:

- improving designs,- supporting design process (e.g., low cost),- enhancing collaboration/communication.Sketching also enhances creativity by:

- supporting short- and long-term memory,- supporting lateral thinking,- supporting modeling,- enabling cycles of generation and (re)interpretation.
