As I sat through poetry, desperately trying to not listen to people exclaim how much they hate reading (why are these people English majors, again?), I started thinking about music for some odd reason. My thought was that music might be a kind of poetry for mathematics; if a poem is words arranged in a way that's different from prose or normal speech to make something beautiful or strange or moving, might not music be math arranged in a similar way - the tones assigned to each note being the figurative language?
