How is math and music similar?

Answer 1

In music, there are notes. A whole note is worth 4 beats, a half note is worth 2 beats, a quarter note is worth 1 beat, etc. Let's say a song is in a 4-beat measure. You could put one whole note, 2 half notes, or 4 quarter notes. Or you could even do 1 half note and 2 quarter notes, thus math.

Answer 2

Music and math are very similar. Music often times relies completely on numbers. For example in a 4/4 measure, there are four quarter notes, eight eighth notes, two half notes, etc., or any combination. (so on your homework, just but that both can be divided split into different parts)

To add to, and correct,that, music consists of patterns of tones of various frequencies ("pitches"), and the timbre of individual instruments comes from combinations of the primary note-frequencies and their harmonics; functions of the physical natures of the instruments. Analysing these sounds is extremely mathematical, requiring a deep understanding of logarithms, series and trigonometry first. I would refer you to the work of Helmholtz!

By the way those binary-fraction noteshave proper names - and the list above contains an misunderstanding.

A 4/4 bar does NOT have four "quarter notes". It has four beats from a combination of notes and a single stressed beginning note or with the 2nd and 4th note stressed - syncopated - as in most jazz, pop and Rock Music.

A four-beat bar therefore may contain any, but only one,of the following; or a combination of them that adds to 4 beats, thus:

One four-beat note (a Semibreve: a Breve therefore lasts for 8 beats),

Two two-beat notes (Minims)

Four single-beat notes (Crotchets - these are the fundamental notes of one single,whole beat each)

Eight half-beat notes (Quavers)

Sixteen quarter-beat notes (Semiquavers).

Semiquavers can be halved into demi-semiquavers and even quartered into Semi-demi-semiquavers but these are so short that they verge on the limit of practicality or point!

So you could play 1 minim and 2 crotchets in 4/4 time and it would still fill the 4-beat bar correctly. It would go "LA-A, LA, LA": the simple4 crotchets would be "LA, LA, LA, LA" per bar.

I minim and1 crotchet would be 3 beats as in 3/4 (waltz) time.

I would say that Mathematics and Music are not so much similar as that music relies on mathematical rules from simple arithmetic as above, to the complexities of Harmonic Analysis.

Answer 3

cause math, you can make pictures and add how much you or whatever has

Answer 4

They are both school subjects,

I don't think there are many because they are both completely different!
