Introduction

I decided to name my blog music with math because the two mesh really well together and represent both sides of my future career ideas. I have assumed that I would go in to some math or science field for a job ever since I stopped believing that I was going to be a fireman back in elementary school. However, I know now that I would not be content going to a strictly math/science school and devoting my life to STEM and CS activities. While I enjoy and probably spend too much time on math, physics, and programming, I have also been in a band for the past two years and have really immersed myself in music creation and production. Writing and performing music is an incredible way to let one's creative side out while still being a somewhat intellectual pursuit. The actual music theory and composition requires thought and precision, like math and science fields, yet the composition of lyrics and actual performance of a song is much more emotional and draws more from the creative side of the brain. Whether I would take up math as my career and have music as a hobby or take up music and have math as a backup plan still remains undecided, although right now I am strongly leaning towards the former. For now, I have this blog to talk about the two and my respective interests in them, and maybe through stream-of-consciousness monologue I will come to some realization about the exact direction in which I want to take my life.
