… The greatest scientists, such as Pythagoras, Kepler, Galelei and Newton have always referred to music to get the enunciation of their laws and the original mathematical model of the universe. Dealing with the relationship between music and the origin of the main theories on the universe in the history of science, we discussed the importance of music as an important instrument to understand the design of nature.

(I have seen fabulous TV programmes on the subject. Too lazy to look them up.)
 
Have been math teacher. Trust me lots of fun.
And solving a math problem can be like a journey.
I agree with the journey part but in the sense of being swept down a river.

I've just done too many exams or interview quizzes where questions give you scenarios like you have six animal cages, two lions but they don't like to face each other, a goat that can't be near the lions, and two tigers which can't be next to each other (don't quote me on that or try to solve, going from memory) or something about chocolates mixed with laxatives. Absolutely dreadful.

Binomial expansion also destroyed my later childhood haha
