Interval vectors may sound like a bunch of pointless math, but in reality they're a simple and incredibly powerful tool that gives theorists some deep insight into the behaviors of scales, chords, and other sets of notes. They help illuminate hidden connections, showing us which scales are actually just other scales in disguise, and giving us guidelines for how those collections of notes relate and interact. They let us categorize different types of sounds, and they explain why those sounds feel the way they do, all by just counting up a couple simple numbers. See? Told you they were powerful.
