商品簡介
Walker (mathematics) and Don (music theory, both U. of Wisconsin-Eau Claire) explore connections between their fields to anyone with a good background in high school mathematics but who cannot necessarily read music. They cover pitch, frequency, and musical scales; basic musical notation; some music theory; spectrograms, music tones, and music; analyzing pitch and rhythm; a geometry of harmony; and audio synthesis in music. Solutions are provided to the exercises. Appendices explain how to configure and use the free software Audacity and MuseScore. By the end, they say, readers should have a better understand and appreciation for both music and mathematics. Annotation c2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
