Nevertheless try to shed light on this subject, from, first, from etymology. light on this subject, from, first, from etymology. Etymology of the word "mathematics" has its origins in the Etymology of the word "mathematics" has its origins in the Greek "μάθημα (" máthēma "), which means" learning "," Greek "μάθημα (" máthēma "), which means" learning "," study "," science ", but subsequently obtained and study "," science ", but subsequently obtained and meaning" mathematical study ". In Greek, the term has meaning" mathematical study ". In Greek, the term has entered the Latin as "Mathematica" and then in similar entered the Latin as "Mathematica" and then in similar forms in European languages. The apparent plural form in forms in European languages. The apparent plural form in English "mathematics" was created by borrowing singular English "mathematics" was created by borrowing singular Greek names to match them with the already existing Greek names to match them with the already existing "physics" and "Metaphysics". English plural and plural form "physics" and "Metaphysics". English plural and plural form such as French "les mathématiques", returned to the Latin such as French "les mathématiques", returned to the Latin neuter plural form of "Mathematica" (Cicero), initiated by neuter plural form of "Mathematica" (Cicero), initiated by "τα μαθηματικά" ("Your Mathematik") and used by "τα μαθηματικά" ("Your Mathematik") and used by Aristotle to mean "all things mathematical.Aristotle to mean "all things mathematical.

In Romanian, the term was copied from the In Romanian, the term was copied from the French "mathématique" and italienescul French "mathématique" and italienescul "math." It also uses the plural name - math, "math." It also uses the plural name - math, referring to applications of mathematics referring to applications of mathematics (financial mathematics, actuarial, etc.)..(financial mathematics, actuarial, etc.)..

For many mathematics means an intellectual exercise of For many mathematics means an intellectual exercise of formulating and proving their theorems from axioms and formulating and proving their theorems from axioms and definitions, using logical reasoning. Of course, the ancient definitions, using logical reasoning. Of course, the ancient Greeks, axioms / postulates and definitions related to Greeks, axioms / postulates and definitions related to arithmetic or geometric objects. Currently, the axioms and arithmetic or geometric objects. Currently, the axioms and definitions may refer to numerous other objects, either: definitions may refer to numerous other objects, either: fields, algebras, rings etc.. It remained unchanged at least fields, algebras, rings etc.. It remained unchanged at least one thing - demonstrated theorems, that truths about the one thing - demonstrated theorems, that truths about the original and derived objects.original and derived objects.

Since ancient times there has been a Since ancient times there has been a connection between music and cognition, connection between music and cognition, especially as regards the mathematical skills. especially as regards the mathematical skills. For Pythagoras, music and mathematics were For Pythagoras, music and mathematics were the same thing. He suggested that the same thing. He suggested that mathematical relations are closely related to mathematical relations are closely related to musical arrangements. This thinking has been musical arrangements. This thinking has been perpetuated over time, until an American perpetuated over time, until an American thinker, able to impose the introduction of thinker, able to impose the introduction of music study in school. In fact, most great music study in school. In fact, most great mathematicians were passionate about music. mathematicians were passionate about music. Over time, several studies have shown that Over time, several studies have shown that music is actually an excellent system of music is actually an excellent system of learning, and children who listen to music at an learning, and children who listen to music at an early age have greater abilities of early age have greater abilities of understanding of mathematics.understanding of mathematics.

2500 years ago, Pythagoras was served by a single-string 2500 years ago, Pythagoras was served by a single-string instrument called a (single vibrating string), which is analogous to instrument called a (single vibrating string), which is analogous to the sound level meter used today for studying vibration chords. the sound level meter used today for studying vibration chords. Using this single-string, Pythagoras and realized, at first, as Using this single-string, Pythagoras and realized, at first, as musical sound (or speak) is the result: regular vibrations of elastic musical sound (or speak) is the result: regular vibrations of elastic bodies. Also, Pythagoras found that when two strings vibrating bodies. Also, Pythagoras found that when two strings vibrating together, one of which is two times longer than the other, you can together, one of which is two times longer than the other, you can hear two sounds, short string sound giving the highest. The sound hear two sounds, short string sound giving the highest. The sound produced by the highest octave string is short compared to the produced by the highest octave string is short compared to the lowest sound produced by double strand. Therefore, if the two lowest sound produced by double strand. Therefore, if the two length ratio ratio coadre frequency sound is emitted, that reports length ratio ratio coadre frequency sound is emitted, that reports the length and frequency are inverse to each other. Pythagoras the length and frequency are inverse to each other. Pythagoras found that if all strings lengths are in the report, hear the sounds found that if all strings lengths are in the report, hear the sounds that form the musical interval called a quint, and the report gives that form the musical interval called a quint, and the report gives the range called block. In this way, simple and accurate the range called block. In this way, simple and accurate assessment reports integers in the three intervals considered assessment reports integers in the three intervals considered consonant perfect octave, quint and block, perfect, was the consonant perfect octave, quint and block, perfect, was the musical system. Stating the basis of these three intervals by musical system. Stating the basis of these three intervals by Pythagoras and his disciples, then it could set the range (scale) Pythagoras and his disciples, then it could set the range (scale) Diatonic Greek (Pythagorean scale), whose sounds (notes) were Diatonic Greek (Pythagorean scale), whose sounds (notes) were named after the do, re, mi, fa, sol to, and do.
