‏Jami Jorgensen is the human jukebox of quadratic equations. “Anything that’s an algorithm, I have a song for it,” said the energetic middle-school math teacher in Hayward Unified, in the east Bay ...

Below left: The figure shows how geometrical music theory represents four-note chord-types -- the collections of notes form a tetrahedron, with the colors indicating the spacing between the individual ...

Researchers have invented an algorithm that produces a real-time portamento effect, gliding a note at one pitch into a note of another pitch, between any two audio signals, such as a piano note ...

Celebrating World Music Day this year is the perfect time to explore the symphonic relationship between music and mathematics. This connection, often overlooked, is a powerful tool in teaching complex ...

Music and mathematics have long been thought of as two distinct disciplines, but upon closer examination, it becomes apparent that the two are deeply interconnected. From the rhythms and patterns ...

It’s a Wednesday afternoon, and classroom B150, tucked away in a corner of the Northwest Building basement, buzzes with energy. Inside the room, students furiously type on their laptops, flip through ...

It’s hard for anyone to say what music looks like, but a new mathematical approach sees classical music as cone-shaped and jazz as pyramid-like. The connections between math and music are many, from ...

The annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science wrapped up last week in Washington, DC. One particularly enjoyable and informative highlight was a session on Mathematics ...

His 6th-century-BCE experiments of plucking stretched strings of different lengths reportedly led him to stumble upon the harmonious connection between frequencies and their ratios. Certain simple ...
