The Connections Between Music and Mathematics
"Music brings joy to those who play, write, or listen. Bring up how it is connected to mathematics, and many people will be puzzled. However, once the shock recedes and they think about it, they realize that there are striking similarities. Not only the obvious ones, like beats in a measure, but the wave lengths and ratios between notes. Studies have shown that babies who listen the classical music can grasp mathematical concepts quicker than those who did not. In essence, math is creative and beautiful, which is why such elegant connections are made between them."
