Mathematics has been used for centuries to describe, analyze, and create music. In this book, Leon Harkleroad explores the mathematics related to aspects of music from its acoustical bases to compositional techniques to music criticism. Both the mathematical and the musical concepts are described in an elementary way, making the book accessible to general readers as well as mathematicians and musicians of all levels. The book is accompanied by an audio CD including several musical examples.

Rezensionen
'Harkleroad's clear writing and generally well-chosen analogies simplify without trivializing the ideas he presents ... I recommend this book especially to readers who have an interest in music and mathematics but perhaps not a lot of preparation, such as musicians, students in secondary education, or the interested lay public. Though equations actually rear their heads, they are tamed by Harkleroad's patient and careful explanations.' SIAM
