Description: This course will survey the many places in which mathematics plays a role in music. The topics and mathematical tools used are diverse: simple number theory in musical scales and tunings, differential equations in the physics of musical instruments, and symmetry in music explained in terms of mathematical group theory. Throughout the course we will use Csound, a compiler language for creating sound, to give concrete examples.
