Dance: the Motion of Math, Music, and Mind

by Matthew He

Overview

Dance is not only body movement; Dance is the motion of life. It connects to body motion, heart emotion, mind expression, and soul reflection through a sequence of mathematical forms and shapes. Over the years our society has considered dance and mathematics to be near polar opposites. The two seem to have nothing in common. And yet upon close investigation and exploration the many connections and similarities reveal themselves. This unique collection of dance poems provides an entry to our understanding of the interplays among math, music, motion, and mind. It contains 55 original dance poems/verses on the motions of life, language of body and culture identity, artistry in motion, science of movement, and variations of dances.

About the Author

Matthew He is a mathematician who enjoys the dance between sciences and arts. Arts and sciences dance as one toward great perfection and mind transformation. Transformation of the mind guided his constant search for life patterns of mathematical truth. The truth of mathematics comes from nature through a pure abstraction of the human brain. The human brain orchestrates a concert of our mind’s expression, body’s motion, and heart’s emotion. Emotion can find its thought, and thought has found poetry of words. Words are building blocks of language as numbers are the alphabet of mathematics. He is interested in the true interaction of math, music, and the mind through dance exploration. Exploration reveals patterns of the body’s motion, the beats of the heart’s emotion, and the waves of mind’s expression.
