I am pretty good at music theory literacy but I have not always been. Just like anything you have to learn how to do, you have to complete simple tasks before you are an expert. We are not all born with the ability to read music. The sad part is there are probably only six kids in the classroom now who can read music. The fact is that I used to hate music theory, I just wanted to sing in the choir and play in the band. The thing is that I have always asked too many questions. In elementary school

Abstract—Music is the art of combining sounds to produce a composition having rhythm, melody, or harmony. Mathematics is the scientific study of numerical patterns, quantity, and space. By the definitions of music and mathematics one tends to separate the two fields into separate categories. However, music and mathematics have more in common than one may think. From reading musical notes to the wavelengths of sounds, mathematics is always a part of music. This paper will focus on the connections
guide Virgil, their actions towards the other souls are never compassionate or pleasant. Throughout the nine circles of hell Dante and Virgil only observe souls interacting with each other when it worsens the punishment one or both souls suffer. We see this is two way, the first being when the souls are responsible for the punishment that occurs in their level of hell, as seen in the circles of the greedy and the wrathful. The second form of interaction is found in the punishments of Caiaphas and Master
the first circle of hell, Limbo, is where the pure non-Christians, people who died without knowing of Christ, and unbaptized Pagans are punished with an eternity of a desire to see god now. This includes Virgil as well as many of the other famous historical writers of the time. Then when crossing the border into the second circle is a monster, named Minos, condemning souls to their respective punishments. The amount of times that Minos curls his tail around himself equals to which circle of Hell the

possible for anger to be legitimate or is it always wrong? Depending on how this instance is interpreted, the reader can either believes that they are justified in their vengeance or are committing the same sin they should be avoiding within the fifth circle of hell. Some may believe that their anger can be justified because of what Filippo did and who he was, since he was definitely not a very just man while living. They may come to the conclusion that Dante and Virgil did no wrong while harming Filippo

Each person that goes to the inferno is sent to a special place where they pay for their sins according to what their sins are. They are many different ways to pay for their sins according
“There is no royal road to geometry.” – Euclid Euclid’s Elements are predominantly the most fundamental concepts of mathematics, but his perspective on geometry was the model for over two millennia. He is believed by many to be the leading mathematics teacher of all time. However, little is known about his life outside of mathematics, or even when he was born or when he died. According to a passage written by Proclus, Euclid probably lived after Ptolemy and the pupils of Plato, but came before
The pentacle is 5-pointed star, contained within a circle. Each point on the star represents the elemental energies in the universe: it is in many forms people make necklaces,bracelets,earrings etc. from the pentacle. For modern day Pagans, the Pentacle contains many wonderful layers of symbolism. The five points symbolize the four directions with the fifth point as the sanctity of Spirit, within and without. The circle around the star symbolizes unity and wholeness. It represents
those who venture to read his poem. For example, the wrathful and the sullen in the fifth circle of Dante’s hell, the heretics in the sixth, and the violent in the third circle. Each depicts a punishment fit for the crime and it is when these lines are spoken that we begin to connect the inspirational words to the very identity of the entire poem. One of the first punishments we observe comes from the fifth circle of Dante’s hell, the wrathful and the sullen, as the author expresses his thoughts of
We learn about ancient civilizations through literature passed down from generations. The view of an afterlife is what provokes people’s immense fear and concern about the concept of death in which they express that fear in different forms. Salvation means we receive eternal life if we have a personal relationship with God. In modern day society, most people go to church to show their faith to God in thinking they get “saved”. These ancient literature goes into elaborate detail about the horrors
takes us through Dante’s journey through Hell. There are nine circles in Dante’s Hell. Each circle of suffering is located within the Earth. The nine circles are divided into three major groups: Incontinent, Violent, and Fraudulent. For each circle, a different sin is recognized. In my opinion, the punishments that correspond with the sins that are committed on Earth are justified in Dante’s version of Hell. Before the first circle of Hell, there is the Ante-Inferno. The Ante-Inferno contains
Christianity Dante Dante 's Inferno discusses the nine circles of hell, each circle corresponding with a different sin. The nine circles follow respectively: Limbo, Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Anger, Heresy, Violence, Fraud, and Treachery. The first circle is called Limbo, where "virtuous non-Christians and unbaptized pagans" live (History lists). Here, those reside in a castle with seven gates symbolizing the seven virtues. The second circle inhabits those who were overcome by the sin of lust. This
Euclidean geometry is the study of points, lines, angles, triangles, circles, squares and other shapes, as well as the properties and relationships between the properties of all these things (Marshall, 2014, para.8). Euclidean geometry is one of the types of mathematics students are learning about in secondary schools, and is also commonly used in everyday life. Mathematicians and researchers have discovered many types of geometries, but Euclidean geometry is the oldest branch of mathematics.
mathematics has not been given the credit or recognition that it deserves. Many of the foundational concepts used in all mathematics were first discovered by the Hindu Indians. This paper will discuss many of these concepts and how they were used in the fifth through the eighth centuries. Apart from direct testimony on the point, the literature of the Hindus furnishes unmistakable evidence to prove that the ancient Hindus possessed astonishing power of memory and concentration of thought. The science of
In the epic poem of The Inferno of Dante, we are introduced to the protagonist Dante, who travels through nine circles of hell along with his “master” Virgil. This journey reveals all the depths of hell as a poem retold by Dante himself. After a quick recap of the poem in a greater detail you will soon see the many unanswered questions this book poses.

EUCLID: The Man Who Created a Math Class Euclid of Alexandria was born in about 325 BC. He is the most prominent mathematician of antiquity best known for his dissertation on mathematics. He was able to create “The Elements” which included the composition of many other famous mathematicians together. He began exploring math because he felt that he needed to compile certain things and fix certain postulates and theorems. His book included, many of Eudoxus’ theorems, he perfected many of Theaetetus's
