Mathematics homework help
Getting Started
In this discussion, you will discover connections between mathematics and the arts and mathematics and nature. You will discuss the mathematical connections that you found. Understanding these concepts will help you understand musical scales, frequencies, proportion and ratios.
Upon successful completion of the course material, you will be able to:
- Communicate quantitative problems and their solutions clearly and correctly in written or oral form.
- Utilize critical thinking skills to evaluate quantitative information in everyday life.
- Formulate a plan based on the mathematical concepts that apply to a problem.
- Analyze the mathematical relationships and patterns that confront the modern world.
- Recognize connections between mathematics and musical scales.
