This book explores the relationships between music, the sciences, and
mathematics, both ancient and modern, with a focus on the big picture
for a general audience as opposed to delving into very technical
details. The language of music is deciphered through the language of
mathematics. Readers are shown how apparently unrelated areas of
knowledge complement each other and in fact propel each other’s
advancement. The presentation as well as the collection of topics
covered throughout is unique and serves to encourage exploration and
also, very concretely, illustrates the cross- and multidisciplinary
nature of knowledge. Inspired by an introductory, multidisciplinary
course, the author explores the relationships between the arts,
sciences, and mathematics in the realm of music. The book has no
prerequisites; rather it aims to give a broad overview and achieve the
integration of the three presented themes. Mathematical tools are
introduced and used to explain various aspects of music theory, and
the author illustrates how, without mathematics, music could not have
been developed.
