12 Preface No school would eliminate the study of language, mathematics, or history from its curriculum, yet the studyofmusic,whichencompassessomanyaspectsofthese fieldsandcanevencontributetoabetter understanding of them, is entirely ignored. Daniel Barenboim Thepurposeofthisbookistoexploretheconnectionsbetweenmathematicsandmusic. Thismay seem to be a curious task. Aren t mathematics and music from separate worlds, mathematics from theworldofscienceandmusicfromtheworldofart? Whilemathematicsdoesbelongtotheworld ofscience,oneofthegoalsofscienceistounderstandeverythingthatweexperience,andmusicis nodoubtanessentialpartofhumanexperience.

Summary of Chapters Hereisabriefdescriptionofthemaintopicscoveredinthebook.Formoredetails,pleaseconsultthe TableofContents. Chapter1describesthescientificapproachtomusicalpitch, firstworkedoutbyhelmholtzin the 19 th century. Helmholtz stheory,whichrelatespitch to frequency,providesafoundationfor understandingdifferentmusicalscales. Oneverydistinctiveaspectofourtreatmentofthismaterial, isthatweusethemethodofspectrograms.aspectrogramisagraphicalportraitofthetoneswithin a musical passage, plotting these tones in terms of their frequencies and the time during which they aresounding.webelievethatspectrogramsareanimportanttoolforunderstandingandappreciating music,andthattheyarenotdifficulttointerpretcorrectly.soweintroducethembeforewedescribe the mathematics used to create them; we postponethat discussion to Chapter 4. Althoughsome mightobjecttousingamathematicaltechniquebeforedescribingthedetailsunderlyingit,webelieve that the spectrogram examples described here are so compelling, and so dramatically illustrate this material,thatwesimplyhadtoincludethem. Inanycase,theyshouldprovideastrongmotivation for learningthemathematicsof spectrogramsdescribedin Chapter4. Chapter 2 providesa brief introductionto musical notation. It describesjustenoughnotationso that allreaders, eventhose whoarenotmusicians,shouldbeabletoreadthebriefscoreexcerptsthatweincludeinthebook. ThereareanumberofsuchscoreexcerptsinChapter3,whereweprovidesomebackgroundinbasic music theory. This basic music theoryis surprisinglymathematical. We emphasizethe different musicaltransformations scaleshiftings,transpositions,inversions thatcomposershaveemployed for centuries. These transformations do have a clear mathematical interpretation. Asdescribedinthelastparagraph,inChapter4wediscussthemathematicsofspectrograms. In addition to the mathematics, we also provide some interesting musical illustrations, such as the

Sounds from these harmonics are indistinguishable from tuning fork tones. (Thin vertical bars at start and end of individual harmonics heard as clicking noises in the playback are artifacts of process of clipping these harmonics out from original trumpet note recording.) Variations in brightness in these harmonic bands correspond to variations in loudness of sound from the harmonics: brighter parts of bands corresponding to louder parts of sound from the harmonics.
