DESCRIPTION:TITLE\n\nA tour of the mathematics of music and sound\n\nABSTRA
 CT\n\nMusic and sound are part of all cultures and critical to human and a
 nimal communication. Yet mathematics is crucial for understanding why inst
 ruments (including the voice) sound like they do\, what frequencies sound 
 harmonious or dissonant\, how strings and objects vibrate or resonate\, ho
 w our ears and brains analyze sound\, and how sound waves propagate in and
  are changed by an architectural space. Why can't the musical interval cal
 led a perfect fifth be 'perfect'\, and how does this affect musical tuning
 ? Why does one hear a 'chirp' when one claps in a racquetball court? We wi
 ll take a tour of such questions and phenomena\, explaining how applied ma
 thematics underlies each. The lecture will include some live demos with in
 struments and sounds\, and live sound analysis with the 'spectrogram' (tim
 e-frequency analysis). No musical training is required to enjoy the lectur
 e\, and the mathematics needs only ratios\, simple graphs\, and trigonomet
 ry (although of course there will be pointers to more advanced areas!).\n
