For most people, mathematics is an insoluble puzzle characterized by printing numbers and calculations taught in school. It is often associated with feelings of rejection and disinterest. To the general public, mathematics seems strictly rational, abstract, cold and soulless. Music, however, is involved in emotion, feelings and life. It exists in all daily routines. Everyone has sung a song, pressed a key on a piano or blown into a flute, and therefore, in some sense, made music. People can easily interact with it. Music is a means of expression and is part of everyone's existence. The incentive to study the connections between these two apparent opposites is therefore obvious to say the least, and it is not clear in which aspects of the two subjects such a relationship might be sought. Furthermore, if we accept certain mathematical aspects of music such as rhythm and pitch, it is much more difficult to imagine any musicality in mathematics. The counting ability and strong order of mathematics do not seem to coincide with an artistic model. However, there are various domains that indicate this type of connection. First, research has proven that children who play the piano often demonstrate enhanced reasoning skills, such as those used in solving puzzles, playing chess, or making mathematical deductions. Second, one particular survey found that the percentage of undergraduates who took a music course was about eleven percent higher than the average among mathematics majors. This affinity of mathematicians for music is not only a recent phenomenon, but was already mentioned by Bloch in 1925. This essay examines the relationship between mathematics...... middle of paper... this would be a way to introduce an additional idea: that beauty is inherent in mathematics.
