Mathmetitican "solves" The Beatles' A Hard Day's Night with Fourier Transform

Its a short and interesting story, find it here. I particularly likes the end:

"“Music and math are not really that far apart,” he says. “They’ve found that children that listen to music do better at math, because math and music both use the brain in similar ways. The best music is analytical and pattern-filled and mathematics has a lot of aesthetics to it. They complement each other well.”"
