MUSICAL INTERVALS IN NUMERICAL TERMS

PYTHAGORAS AND THE PYTHAGOREANS MADE MANY CONTRIBUTIONS TO MATH AND MUSIC. THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE MUSICAL INTERVALS{DISTANCE IN PITCH BETWEEN TWO NOTES} CAN BE STATED IN NUMERICAL TERMS.

PYTHAGORAS STATED THAT YOU CAN STATE IN  NUMERICAL TERMS THE INTERVALS AMONG THE NOTES. THE INTERVALS AMONG THE NOTES RELATE TO THE LENGTH OF THE STRINGS ON AN INSTUMENT. HE DISCOVERED THAT WHEN THE RATIO OF THE STRING LENGTHS ARE WHOLE NUMBERS THE VIBRATING STRINGS ON AN INSTRUMENT MAKE SOUNDS AND TONES.

PYTHAGORAS ALSO WAS A MUCISION. HE PLAYED THE LYRE.

THE STUDY OF MUSICAL INTERVALS LATER LED UP TO PYTHAGORAS MAKING DISCOVERIES IN MATH.
