| Description |
nopsis:
From Ancient Greek times, music has been seen as a mathematical art, and the
relationship between mathematics and music has fascinated generations. This
collection of wide ranging, comprehensive and fully-illustrated papers,
authorized by leading scholars, presents the link between these two subjects
in a lucid manner that is suitable for students of both subjects, as well as
the general reader with an interest in music. Physical, theoretical,
physiological, acoustic, compositional and analytical relationships between
mathematics and music are unfolded and explored with focus on tuning and
temperament, the mathematics of sound, bell-ringing and modern compositional
techniques.
