This is then played or sung as a series of notes in accordance to a pattern. Musical beats are pulses in which time is marked. Music, both vocal and instrumental, is primarily made up of beats. What exactly is the connection between music and mathematics?

But of late, both scientists and academicians have been conducting various studies on the inter-relationship between music and mathematics and how this connection can be used for enhancing cognitive development and learning skills (especially math skills) in school children. Historians also document early Indian and Chinese theorists who sought to show the correlation between the mathematical laws of harmonics and rhythms and its relationship towards human well-being. In fact, they were so convinced of music being a genre of mathematics that they included music among the "quadrivium" of other mathematical arts like Geometry, Arithmetic and Astronomy. The connection between music and mathematics goes back to the days of the ancient Greek philosophers, especially Pluto and Aristotle, who recognized the similarity and greatly researched the bond between the genres. Gottfried Leibniz, philosopher and mathematician.
