In a way, yes I suppose (maybe not literally). There is a very strong correlation between math and music. Mozart's music is often referred to as being "mathmatically perfect". Some people consider a piano to be an adding machine. Pretty neat huh?
Alot of the child prodigies with a proficiency for math are also excellent in music. It's not a 1:1 ratio, it's just a correlation. I can't quantify it (maybe someone else can).
I guess it's the way they are wired.
Although I'm not sure it goes the other way. I've never heard of Einstein writing no symphonies or playing piano (then agian, he was a physicist, not a mathematician).
