Scholarly Journals: Math and Music - Harmonious Connections

Math and Music: Harmonious Connections

This journal concentrates on how mathematics can be used to analyze musical rhythms, to study the sound waves that produce musical notes, to explain why instruments are tuned, and to compose music. The relationship between mathematics and music is explained through proportions, patterns, Fibonacci numbers or the Golden Ratio, geometric transformations, trigonometric functions, fractals, and other mathematical concepts. A lot of associations are given which will allow readers a better chance to make the association clearer through prior knowledge.
