Johannes de Muris

Johannes de Muris was a medieval scholar and mathematician active in the 14th century, known for his contributions to music theory, mathematics, and arithmetic. He is best recognized for his work on the "Arithmetic," which integrated practical calculations with theoretical understanding, emphasizing methods for solving problems. Additionally, de Muris explored the mathematical foundations of music, linking numbers to musical harmony. His ideas laid groundwork for later developments in both mathematics and music theory. De Muris is often remembered for bridging the gap between the practical applications of mathematics and its theoretical aspects, reflecting the intellectual climate of his time.
