MATHEMATICS & MUSIC
INSTRUCTOR(S): James Walker,
University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire
GRADE LEVEL(S): 7-12
We
will explore the connections between
mathematics and music from several
different genres: Rock, Jazz,
Rhythm and Blues, Afro-Latin ,
Classical, and from other cultures:
African, Chinese, Egyptian, Indian,
and Indonesian. Discover
mathematical ideas that occur in
music: fractions and continued
fractions (in musical scales),
symmetry (in melody design),
logarithms (in scales and in
measuring complexity in rhythm); and
trigonometry (in musical tones). We
will use a variety of free musical
software, with lots of hands-on
audio processing of music. The
course will provide middle and high
school mathematics teachers with
useful ideas and methods for
including music into their
mathematics classes.
