Part 2/9:
Our adventure begins in ancient Greece, a pivotal hub for mathematical development, as we meet Pythagoras, renowned as both the father of mathematics and music. The whimsical tone shifts to a lesson on the relationship between strings, tension, and pitch. Pythagoras discovered that dividing a string creates notes that harmonize based on simple ratios. Through hands-on demonstration, we learn how the musical scale arises from these mathematical principles, emphasizing that the essence of music is deeply rooted in the world of numbers.
