Mathematics and Music the strong affinity between mathematics and music is the subject of "Music: Broken Symmetry, Geometry, and Complexity", by Gary W. Don, Karyn K. Muir, Gordon B. Volk, and James S. Walker. Among the questions explored in the article are: Does Louis Armstrong's voice sound like his trumpet? What do Ludwig van Beethoven, Benny Goodman, and Jimi
Hendrix have in common? How does the brain sometimes fool us when we listen
to music, and how have composers used such illusions? Is it possible to
objectively describe the connection between pitch and rhythm in melodies? Is
it possible to objectively describe the complexity of musical rhythm? How
can math help create new music? Source:
