    Well, music sort of fits in between physics and chemistry… right? ;)

    Okay. that was scary. We are mathy? only a month untill my exams, and after that I want NOTHING to do with maths anymore…
    Can’t we just stand above them all? :p

    this is how I feel when confronted with science/mathy types.

    Oh yes, there’s definitely math in music.

    As a performer, though, you can get away with more or less ignoring it. ;) Let the theorists handle the math.

    xkcd!! Heh… I remember wondering at the time. Is it “pure?” and what’s wrong with application anyway?
