Abstract

Links between music and mathematics is always been an important research topic ever. Serious attempts have been made to identify these links. Researches showed that relationships are much more stronger than it has been anticipated. This paper identifies these relationships between music and various fields of mathematics. In addition to these traditional mathematical investigations to the field of music, a new approach is presented: Patternist perspective. This new perspective yields new important insights into music theory. These insights are explained in a detailed way unraveling some interesting patterns in the chords and scales. The patterns in the underlying the chords are explained with the help of an abstract device named chord wheel which clearly helps to visualize the most essential relationships in the chord theory. After that, connections of music with some fields in mathematics, such as fibonacci numbers and set theory, are presented. Finally concluding that music is an abstraction of mathematics.
