If Math Were A Sound...

Do you like math? If you do, what would it sound like? Here are a few sounds and music genres I think math would sound like.

In a way I think math would sound very pleasant and elegant like classical music. I think this, because math is very sophisticated. Also there is a part of math is fun that makes me think of Rock ‘n’ Roll. I think this because math is fun and there is always more to learn. I also think that math would sound a little like smooth jazz. It would sound like slow jazz to me because you still have to take math seriously and take it slow because you can’t be goofing off, especially in the more advanced and more sophisticated topics. Lastly I think math could sound like rap because you have to think fast.

I think math could sound like arguing because mathematicians believe in what they think and that their answer the right. Math, I think could also sound like snapping because you have to pay attention to the lesson that your teacher is giving or you have to pay attention to what your colleague is saying. I also think that math could sound like a question. I think this, because math is very complex and packed with information. Also sometimes you have a question on what is going on around you in your math world. Lastly I think math could sound like whispering. I think this, because you have to not yell and keep your voice down to not let the little things upset. Another reason I think math would sound like whispering, is a lot of professional mathematicians work with colleagues and you need tell them because you have to explain your work, but you have to do it without yelling.

One thing I think math would sound like is a cop car siren. I think this because its like when someone of greater thinking (teacher) realizes you have a mistake and stops you before you do anything else. I also think math would sound like a car crash. I think this because a car crash is like when you realize something complicated isn’t actually as complicated as you thought. Another thing I thing I think math would sound like is a big truck when its backing up (beep beep beep etc.). I think this because when someone finds a mistake of yours they tell you to back up and to start simple of start over. Lastly I think math would sound like you getting called for a big, fancy award. I think this because math has it’s ups and downs but when you get an answer right or a good grade you’re happy and like to celebrate because your just happy for that period of time.

I know that everybody hears something else but this is only what I hear when I think of Math.
