Paul McCartney's Math Jotter

[Jai Guru Deva]

Here's an interesting page demonstrating Paul's math skills. How often did Paul have to use algebraic fractions in his music anyway? Maybe it's the difference between his genius and Sir Faul's mediocrity. Paul did do that unreleased song, "One And One Is Two". Doesn't it start out something like: One and one is two divided by A minus B to 2nd power over B (A plus 1) times A (B minus AB)..." I never really was very good at numbers. All I can say is that Paul was better at math than I ever was!

That makes me think that Faul uses math to come up w/ his formulaic music. He has to know what ratios will sound good together. members.cox.net/mathmistakes/music.htm
