I agree with Tootsall, which happens fairly often
I am a maths teacher and I have read in research from studies that Maths and Music are the only two disciplines that actively involve both sides of the brain at the same time. You have to be solving a hard maths problem that is making you think or sight reading a difficult new piece of music or similar according to the study.
But they definitely found that people who do Maths or Music in this way develop links on both sides of the brain which helps them in other areas.
"Mathemata" interestingly used to mean the study of music, astronomy and philosophy.
I think of Maths and Music as physical exercise for the brain. They are also probably the two most widely used languages in the world as well. they have all sorts of similarities and I love both subjects!
