Music Math

Music Math explores the surprising and profound connection between science and music, revealing the mathematical structures underpinning harmony, rhythm, and musical form. It demonstrates that musical composition isn't solely driven by emotion but is also a structured system governed by mathematical rules, dating back to Pythagoras and evident in Bach's intricate works. The book delves into how mathematical principles govern musical intervals and scales, offering an objective framework for analyzing and creating music.

Readers will discover the role of numerical sequences like the Fibonacci sequence in melodic construction, providing a deeper understanding beyond subjective appreciation. This unique book progresses logically, starting with fundamental concepts such as ratios and scales before advancing to complex topics like counterpoint, harmony, and algorithmic composition. It highlights how the physics of sound waves, insights from computer science, and cognitive psychology enrich our understanding of music.

By balancing technical precision with accessible explanations and visual aids, Music Math welcomes musicians, scientists, and anyone curious about the intersection of these seemingly disparate fields.
