quote from Marcus Garrick Miller: "“For me, math and music aren’t the same thing. They don’t translate directly into one another, but both fill me with awe and joy. In each, there’s a creative, problem-solving space where I can explore ideas deeply, whether it’s cracking a conceptual math problem or experimenting with harmony and composition.”
We interviewed #InfiniteSums math ambassador and saxophonist Marcus Garrick Miller about the interplay between #math and #music: https://infinitesums.simonsfoundation.org/math-ambassadors-marcus-garrick-miller/
