I have a degree in mathematics and have studied music for some years. My personal opinion is that they're quite different things. Yes, the underlying theory of music requires some mathematics, but that's it. Once you get into it there's much more "feeling" and "intuition" and "subjectiveness" than math could ever accept.


^ This. Maths ignore the stuff you mentioned above just to get by

The same can be said about science ignoring philosophy, morality and spirituality just to get by
