Cool quotes about Math and Music.



“Music is the pleasure the human soul experiences from counting without being aware that it is counting.”
--
German mathematician and philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz (1646-1716)

“Mathematics and music, the most sharply contrasted fields of scientific activity which can be found,
and yet related, supporting each other, as if to show forth the secret connection which ties together
all the activities of our mind, and which leads us to surmise that the manifestations of the artist's genius are
but the unconscious expressions of a mysteriously acting rationality.” –19th century German physician and physicist Hermann von Helmholtz



“May not music be described as mathematics of the sense, mathematics as music of the reason?” –19th century English mathematician James Joseph Sylvester
