Math and Music Harmonious Connections by Trudi Hammel Garland and Charity Vaughan Kahn Call 1-877-721-1198 (toll free) to order. The connections between the two seemingly disparate subjects of mathematics and music go far beyond Pythagoras' concept of the harmony of the spheres. Math and Music: Harmonious Connections takes you on a journey through these relationships, viewing them through the lenses of nature, rhythm, tone, tuning, and composition: from the chanting and drumming of ancient cultures to computers who compose; from the evolution of tuning to the magical construction of musical instruments; from the golden proportion to polyrhythm; from fractal music to Einstein and his violin. The book explains the nitty-gritty details of counting out a 2-against-3 rhythm, and confronts age-old questions such as, "What is beauty?" and "Why is music such a powerful medium?" Ideal for classroom use and pleasure reading.
