what do u think????????????

Question

what do u think about this line " Music and Maths has some correlation" give me ur suggestions and think that while doing mathematics why people love to hear music

Answer 1

I use music (together with an oscilloscope and a wave generator borrowed from the physics lab) in my Algebra II classes as an aid to teach exponential functions (notes on a scale) and graphing trig functions (a pure tone being a sine wave).

Before Pythagoras developed his famous right triangle theorem, his first mathematical work in Egypt was coming up with the relationship to the length of plucked strings and the tones they make and the proportionality to other tones (about three centuries before Plato). He created and developed the Pythagorean scale, from which ancient lyres were tuned.

The first mathematical treatises of Blaise Pascal and René DesCartes were both in the field of music theory and harmonics. Fourier analysis was first used to show how periodic sound waves were mere composites of individual sine functions.

Maths and music, in my opinion, are also related in that it takes artistic creativity to do either of them well. Music opens doors to mathematics in many ways, and vice versa when it comes to composing.

Answer 2

First, there are the frequencies at which pitches resonate: Concert 'A' is 440 Hz. An octave lower is 1/2 of that, and an octave higher is double. Then, a fifth is a different ratio as well. J.S. Bach actually had to figure out a tuning for the clavier (a keyboard instrument) so that it could be played in any key: the building of a scale using the pythagorean method made only one scale possible per tuning. Then there is beat division, which is complicated also.
Then, when you get to atonal music and 12-tone row, there is a whole lot more math: for 12-tone row, you have to create a matrix of 12X12 that has all of the possible tones (in a chromatic scale). In strict 12 tone, you can only ever use a tone once until the rest of the row is completed. It is extremely mathematical. Music has an extreme amount of correlation to math.
I don't think everybody like to listen to music while doing math, though. That is probably just an overgeneralization.

Answer 3

math and music are related in the sense that music or sound in general is a sin wave which our brains interpret....

Also music works out mathematically all around.. there are 8 notes between octives, the 4th up from the base tone is the fith down from the octive, both are natural harmonies. The sixth scale degree is the relative minor, which if you play the 6th scale degree chord and the 1st - home chord together they sound almost exactly the same and can be played over each other with perfect harmony. The beats are broken up mathematically and music simulates the human body.... the beat is your heart... the sound from an instrument such as flute is your voice your singing.... and some say that singing is letting your soul speak...

Answer 4

Math and Music deals with the correlation of number to each other and scales of numbers, so there is always a counting beat with both. Everything in the universe deals with numbers in scores or arrangements. Example, how many X chromes and Y chromes in what series makes up a girl or a boy?

Answer 5

People have written symphonies entirely from mathematical constructs. None have sustained popularity. So there's more to music than putting notes together mathematically. But they do correlate a bit.

Answer 6

I have done alot of research on this subject for my calculus class, and I have found that there are many ways in which music and math are related. Since this area was so broad, I narrowed it to the guitar and math. Not only are they related by the syncopatic beats, but there are places on the guitar where you can make two of the same notes, but in completely different places. This is because of related rates, and derivatives. Not only was there alot of math in music, but physics. That made it harder for me to understand what it was saying, but there are still many more ways in which math relates to music, but would be rather difficult for me to explain without my notes.

Answer 7

The mind is a terrible thing to waste. I believe if you look at the conection between the two, you will see that they are seperate, yet work together. Being skilled in math, music sooths your portion of the body it controls allowing your mind section controling math work at rest and thus becomming more useful.

Answer 8

Good music contains a good rythem which consists of some notes related to music in a special order.when we hear music our mind identifies that rhythem no matter if u have a base in music or not. So a good music have a good calculated notes and you will feel to hear it always

Answer 9

It is a know fact with any subject that if you listen to a soothing music then study or so on if you listen to the same music you were listening to when you were studing then you will have a better chance of remembering what you studied or did

Answer 10

unlike other people, i like doing maths but if i have music on it only distracts me and i lose concentration so i think that it is not a strong correlation.
