Elegance is frequently used as a standard of tastefulness, particularly in visual design, decorative arts, literature, science, and the aesthetics of mathematics. In philosophy of science[edit] In the philosophy of science, there are two concepts referring to two aspects of simplicity: elegance (syntactic simplicity), which means the number and complexity of hypotheses, and parsimony (ontological simplicity), which is the number and complexity of things postulated.[4] In mathematics[edit] In engineering, a solution may be considered elegant if it uses a non-obvious method to produce a solution which is highly effective and simple. In chemistry, chemists might look for elegance in theory, method, technique and procedure. In pharmacy, elegance in formulation is important for quality as well as for effectiveness in dosage form design, a major component of pharmaceutics. "Definition of ELEGANCE".
