Abstract

From Music to Mathematics In this expanding transdisciplinary field - one that can be approached from a wide variety of perspectives - Gareth E. Roberts's work I From Music to Mathematics: Exploring the Connections i , which is intended to serve as a university textbook, offers the content of a two-semester course on music and mathematics taught by the author. Roberts's work is about finding the mathematics in certain music and discovering how we can mathematically express and explain the structure of musical ideas and language. Roberts points here to the high complexity and multiplicity of the connections between mathematics and music and also to the potential openness of mathematics to indeterminacy and choice.
