小学校の時に、アナログ時計の針を読むことが出来ず、その時点で算数を諦めました。数字というものは、私の頭の中には存在していないかのようです 笑 ところが、数学と芸術はどうやら繋がっているらしい、という話に昔から興味がありました。
そんな折、私を子供の頃から知ってくださっている方が、ご自分が最近辿り着いたという数式を投稿されていたので、美と数式の関係を尋ねてみたところ、数学はおろか算数すらできない私にうんとかみ砕いてその数式を説明してくださいました。バッハの曲のような数式なのだと。すると、単なる数字と記号の羅列に見えていたものが、自由に展開しながら交感し合って動いてゆくフーガの主題と応答のように鮮やかに浮かび上がるではないですか。
その方は数式のことを「数式は美しいものを表すのに向いた言葉である」と言いました。絵も、数式も、音楽も、彫刻も、すべて美を表現する世界共通の「言葉」なのですね！美しいものを感じ取りそれを何かで表したいという思いは、人の本質的な欲求なのだと改めて思いました。数学と芸術の繋がりをほんの少しだけ覗けたような気がします。

When I was a primary school student I learned how to read clocks, I did my best and worked hard but I couldn't tell the time. Since then I gave up arithmetic completely. Numbers don't exist in my brains 
However I was always interested in the connection between mathematics and art.
However I was always interested in the connection between mathematics and art.Recently a person who has known me since I was little posted a mathematical formula which came to his mind lately. I asked him what he thinks about the connection between mathematics and art, then he kindly explained his mathematical formula to me while I don't even understand arithmetic. And then he said that his formula is, let's say, like Bach's fugue in short. And you know what, I suddenly could imagine themes of a small fugue interacting with each other. He said "mathematical formulas are a language which can express the beauty of this world very well". Now I understand that mathematical formulas are a universal language like any other forms of art. Humans have innate cravings for expressing what they think are beautiful!
Well, now I feel that I could see the connection between mathematics and art just a little, little bit!
