#20 - Marcus Miller on The Intersection of Music and Math

Joining me this week was Marcus Miller. Marcus is a saxophonist based in New York City with a degree in mathematics from Harvard University. He is also the host of a podcast called The Poolside Polymath.If you’re wondering how music and mathematics combine, that's exactly what Marcus has been exploring for most of his career and it truly is fascinating. He has a quote on his website from James Joseph Sylvester which says, "May not music be described as the mathematics of the sense, mathematics is music of the reason". This just alludes to the absolutely fascinating vastness of exploring these two fields, both the similarities between math and music, as well as the differences and what those can teach us about life in general. I was absolutely rocked by this conversation as you will probably be able to tell. Marcus has this incredible ability to draw on specific examples of mathematicians, spiritual leaders, philosophers, and just an incredible memory and knowledge of books that he has read to start to tease apart and explore the intersection of these two fields.Please Enjoy! Are you an expert?
