3 Mathematics Mathematics is the study of topics such as numbers, structure, space, and change.
4 Mathematics Mathematics is the study of topics such as numbers, structure, space, and change. Mathematicians seek out patterns and use them to formulate new conjectures.
5 Mathematics Mathematics is the study of topics such as numbers, structure, space, and change. Mathematicians seek out patterns and use them to formulate new conjectures. Mathematics is to establish truth by rigorous deduction from appropriately chosen axioms and definitions.
6 Mathematics Mathematics is the study of topics such as numbers, structure, space, and change. Mathematicians seek out patterns and use them to formulate new conjectures. Mathematics is to establish truth by rigorous deduction from appropriately chosen axioms and definitions. Gödel s incompleteness theorem.
7 Mathematics Mathematics is the study of topics such as numbers, structure, space, and change. Mathematicians seek out patterns and use them to formulate new conjectures. Mathematics is to establish truth by rigorous deduction from appropriately chosen axioms and definitions. Gödel s incompleteness theorem. Key words: abstraction, logic, counting, pattern, measurement.
8 Music Music is an art form and cultural activity whose medium is sound and silence. The common elements of music are pitch, rhythm, dynamics, timbre, form and style.
9 Music Music is an art form and cultural activity whose medium is sound and silence. The common elements of music are pitch, rhythm, dynamics, timbre, form and style. Creating music, listening to music, and dancing to the rhythms of music are practices cherished in cultures all over the world.

Creating music, listening to music, and dancing to the rhythms of music are practices cherished in cultures all over the world. Music satisfies a deep human need. Universal definition: music is any combination and of any kind of sounds that someone enjoys listening to.

15 Favorite quotes about music Music is a moral law. It gives soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and charm and gaiety to life and to everything. Plato Without music life would be a mistake. Nietzsche Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life. van Beethoven Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy. van Beethoven
16 Favorite quotes about music If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music. Albert Einstein No school would eliminate the study of language, mathematics, or history from its curriculum, yet the study of music, which encompasses so many aspects of these fields and can even contribute to a better understanding of them, is entirely ignored. Daniel Barenboim

25 Math and Music Music: pitch, rhythm, timbre, dynamics, scale. Math: number, structure, spectrum, change, space.
26 Math and Music Music: patterns, logic, chosen axioms, piece. Math: patterns, logic, chosen axioms, proof.
27 Math and music There is geometry in the humming of the strings, and there is music in the spacing of the spheres. Pythagoras All nature consists of harmony arising out of numbers. Pythagoras May not music be described as the mathematic of sense, mathematic as music of the reason? The soul of each the same! Sylvester Music is the pleasure of the human mind experiences from counting without being aware that it is counting. Music is nothing but unconscious arithmetic. Leibniz In math and music, there is an intense study part and a performance part. Robert Bryant (President of AMS)
28 The understanding of consonance (harmony)??-900s: melodic sense 900s-1300s interval: octave and perfect fifth/fourth 1300s-1700s interval: sixth and third, relativity 1800s Rameau: root theory 1900s Helmholtz: beat/roughness theory 1965: Plomp and Levelt: critical bandwidth
29 Why do we have consonance? Mathematics and music! The most glaring possible opposites of human thought! And yet connected, mutually sustained! It is as if they would demonstrate the hidden consensus of all the actions of our mind, which in the revelations of genius makes us forefeel unconscious utterances of a mysteriously active intelligence. Hermann von Helmholtz, "On The Physiological Causes of Harmony in Music," 1857
