Pythagoras's Contribution To The Mathematical Theory Of Music

Register to read the introduction… This generalization stemmed from Pythagoras’s observations in music, mathematics, and astronomy. Pythagoras noticed that vibrating strings produced harmonious tones when the ratios of the lengths of the strings are whole numbers, and that the ratios could be extended to other instruments. Actually Pythagoras made remarkable contributions to the mathematical theory of music. Pythagoras used his musical talent of playing the lyre as means to help those who were ill.
Pythagoras studied properties of numbers much like mathematicians of today would. The fact of even and odd numbers triangular numbers, and perfect numbers. However Pythagoras gave numbers a personality. Each number had a personality; masculine or feminine, perfect or incomplete, and beautiful or ugly. Modern mathematics has deliberately eliminated these personality factors from its presence.
Today we mainly remember Pythagoras for his famous geometry theorem, the Pythagorean theorem. Although the theorem, now known as Pythaoras’s theorem, was actually known to the Babylonians 1000 years earlier, he may have been the first to prove
