Music Theory & Mathematics
August 14, 2008
6:00 pmto7:00 pm

Mathematician Jack Douthett and music theorist John Clough wrote the book on music theory and mathematics, so to speak, in their 2008 publication titled, curiously enough, Music Theory and mathematics: Chords, Collections, and Transformations. Douthett visits Santa Fe Complex on Thursday night, August 14 at 6:00 to review the theory of maximally even sets, an algebraic structure initially designed to model musical scales and chords, with an emphasis on visualization.
