Mathemathics and music is not a rare combination - see Tom Lehrer, for instance.

My wife (a voice major) pointed out that instrumental music majors tend to be
good at math; voice majors not so much.
Too bad it isn't reciprocal. I was great at math from a very early age.
Did Algebra and Geometry in grade school. I have at least a half dozen
instruments and I suck at all of them. I can play very technically on
most of them but I have no art and can not put any real feeling into the
music I play. But then, I only play for myself so I guess it really
doesn't matter./ :-)
