Music to listen to when doing math or science

[alejandrito29]

groups, singer, or instrumen, in particular, of music listen to you, when you doing calculus of theoretical physics or mathematical?

sorry, but I don't speack english very good.

 

[Drakkith]

Umm. I don't do calculus or theoretical physics, but I enjoy many different types of music. From Metallica, to Nightwish, to a hundred others. Linkin Park, a little bit of Classical, and more.

 

[Pythagorean]

Dimmu Borgir and Cradle of Filth

 

[Insanity]

When I want or need to focus on a project, Ozzy Osbourne/Black Sabbath has been assisting there.
Also Beethoven or Mozart, Metallica, it varies.
Some audiobooks too, mostly H.P. Lovecraft stories.

 

[Pythagorean]

Paginini, but he can also be distracting with some of his pieces.

 

[Disconnected]

I usually start listening to my usual stuff, but then quickly re-remember that I can't concentrate while listening to music with lyrics so switch to postrock/classical/dubstep or some other music with no words.

 

[Pythagorean]

Yeah, that's why I like death metal and world music; can't understand the words.

 

[Lacy33]

Michael Jackson, Wacko Jacko, MJ, Michael. Or otherwise known around here as the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. :!)

Downbeat electronic and dubstep usually -> something chilled, not too busy, yet with a rhythm I can work to. Boards of Canada, Autechre, Groove Armada, Benga, Boozoo Bajou, Burial... the list could go on and on :P

Dark psytrance, psytrance, and ambient trance

 

[Chi Meson]

A fan. Specifically, a Bionair HEPA air filter, set on level 2.

White noise in the background is the only background that allows for full concentration.

Do you point the fan at your head to stop it overheating from all your concentrating ? XD

I usually work at home when it's completely quiet, but sometimes I listen to my noise canceling headphones turned all the way up.

That's what propeller beanies are for.

I should have said this too earlier. MOST of the time I do not listen to anything, but if it's math or programming and I'm working with a concept I already understand, I listen to music if I am in the mood for it.

I have a 400-CD carousel. It holds most of my music (in that format) and I have it set to "random". I could work for many, many hours researching galactic interactions without a break.

Most of the music is blues and rock. Mostly from the 1950's to the 80's. I have that feed piped out to my back deck and when my wife and I have younger relatives over for a cookout, I generally have to write down the names of some groups and their albums.

Do you listen to music while you study/do homework?

Do you listen to music while you study and/or do homework? If so, which kinds of music? instrumental or music with lyrics? Also, if you listen to music while studying, do you find it difficult to concentrate while taking your tests in quiet lecture halls?

 

[Dembadon]

Anything without lyrics. Toubab Krewe is a favorite of mine.

 

[Astronuc]

I listened to the news during high school while doing homework. In university, I'd listen to classic rock, or classical music, or open the window and listen to sounds of the city.

I can't really concentrate in very quiet surroundings.

Lately, I've been listening to the Rolling Stones, Who, The Doors, Yes, and Michael Oldfield's Tubular Bells.

 

[SW VandeCarr]

This is an old thread that's been resurrected, but for what it's worth, here's a list of suggested music from Brahms to Coldplay. It was downloaded from the internet, so it must be right.

The Sound of Silence

 

[Sourabh N]

Also, if you listen to music while studying, do you find it difficult to concentrate while taking your tests in quiet lecture halls?

Very much so. I've even (partially) successfully obtained the permission to put on my earphones during exams.

Everyone knows propeller beanies are to provide lift to elevate your thoughts.
