T his chapter explores the phenomenological relationship between music and mathematics. The chapter starts by giving some examples that may clearly validate the contribution of math’s intuitive dimension to some of the most important historical discoveries of this discipline. We will try to show how these intuitive visions present an order that we might associate with the idea of beauty: we are talking about an aesthetic way of thinking. Afterwards we will suggest that this reasoningcommonly attached to music and mathematicsis not a mere abstract construct, but it has practical consequences: beauty contributes to truth and truth contributes to beauty. Finally, we will argue that what essentially unites both disciplines is the process of creative research and the constructions of metaphors, a process that permits the translation of symbolic codes.
