Of course, crazyguy, music composition used to be seen simply as a mathematical field. When composers weren't seen in the way they are now, music production was put in the same category as maths, and was seen simply as a way of coming up with different combinations of correct notes that would sound good. It would have been blasphemous to suggest that the composer created anything, as that was God's realm.
Much classical music has been based very heavily on maths, even in contemporary times.
