Mathematics is the music of reason.
by James Joseph Sylvester (Mathematician, English , born in 1814) keywords: mathematics, music , reason
May not music be described as the mathematics of the sense, mathematics as music of the reason? The musician feels mathematics, the mathematician thinks music: music the dream, mathematics the working life.
