This thread is so long (started in 1993!) that I do not know if I am
posting something that somebody has said before. I am certainly not
going through all those messages.
The following quotation is about the relation between mathematics and
music:
Mathematics is the music of 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.
J.J.Sylvester (1814-1897).
