Mathematics
Paperback. One is a science, the other an art; one useful, the other seemingly decorative, but mathematics and music share common origins in cult and mystery. This work explains how mathematics makes sense of space, how music tells a story, how theories are constructed, how melody is shaped. It argues that they are images of the mind at work and play. Num Pages: 284 pages, 2 halftones, tables, 11 musical examples. BIC Classification: AVA; PB. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 228 x 181 x 22. Weight in Grams: 438.
