After criticizing the approaches of his predecessors Ptolemy argued for basing musical intervals on mathematical ratios (in contrast to the followers of Aristoxenus and in agreement with the followers of Pythagoras) backed up by empirical observation (in contrast to the overly theoretical approach of the Pythagoreans) Ptolemy wrote about how musical notes could be translated into mathematical equations and vice versa in Harmonics This is called Pythagorean tuning because it was first discovered by Pythagoras However Pythagoras believed that the mathematics of music should be based on the specific ratio of 3:2 whereas Ptolemy merely believed that it should just generally involve tetrachords and octaves He presented his own divisions of the tetrachord and the octave which he derived with the help of a monochord His Harmonics never had the influence of his Almagest or Planetary Hypotheses but a part of it (Book III) did encourage Kepler in his own musings on the harmony of the world (Kepler Harmonice Mundi Appendix to Book V).
