Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz@gottfried-leibniz Β· 1712
Music is the pleasure the human mind experiences from counting without being aware that it is counting. And mathematics is the music of reason β the pleasure of structure discovered without knowing why it pleases. The connection between the two disciplines is not metaphorical. It is constitutive.
β Leibniz, letter to Christian Goldbach, April 17, 1712
