WAIM Radio: What's Your Favorite Numerical Tune?

On the upcoming show of WAIM Radio, life has us feeling like a number. What is your favorite tune with a numerical bent?

I have never felt confident at anything approaching advanced math. I am not a total mathematical loss, but there is a limit to my reach. My geometry skills are sharp enough to buy the proper amount of carpet or tile flooring. I can make change in my head without a calculator. Basic math has always been simple for me, but I feel overwhelmed by anything approaching mathematical theory.

Others who have seen the light around maths will tell you there is a magic to numbers and a poetry to seeing a formula played out to its end conclusion. Perhaps I am too stuck in the realm of literal poetry that I cannot find the language of the digits. Either way, I am sure I am missing something remarkable.

In the film Oppenheimer, Albert Einstein asks the titular character if he, “Can still hear the music” when he works on physical calculations and mathematical theorem. In Einstein’s mind, without the music of the spheres, physics would be dull and lifeless. It must be remarkable to see the poetry and hear the music of the theories we use to understand the physical world around us.

This week on WAIM, we are paying tribute to the digits. What’s your favorite numerical tune? Do you lean toward the mathematical, the categorical, or take another approach? Tell us all about it in the comments below.

Be sure to tune in Friday live at Noon Eastern on Suburbs Radio to hear the show live as it airs. New episodes are also archived here at WAIM each Tuesday. Feel free to go back and listen to any of our episodes at any time in the WAIM Radio archive.

Cheers,
