Can you solve math problems using sound?

:cheers: :cheers: :cheers: ...and a little :scratch:MisterE":51muwagv said:Sure, but you´d need to define how functions like add/subtract, multiply/divide etc could be represented musically/aurally. The integers themselves are quite easy to hear. The entire equation can be done within the interval of a Major ninth. Establishing their function would be a little more complicated, but not impossible.
In this little demonstration "0" (zero) is not accounted for and could be problematic in representing musically as well.
Pi in fixed do musical solfege would be:
Mi, Do, Fa, Do, Sol, Re'(9th), Re, La, etc.
3 . 1 4 1 5 9 2 6 etc.
Actually, transcribing music by ear is essentially the same process in reverse as what was done in this video.
Neat. :afro:
I remember having that realization when I was a student too. Listening to Bach´s Goldberg Variations one night I got to thinking- this is MATH!CLRV":7mekwiss said:You know, something I have never gotten tired of is the sheer reality that music is literally a language. And yeah, that language is spectacularly well suited for math.
