In Western Civilization Mathematics and Music have a long and
interesting history in common, with several interactions,
traditionally associated with the name of Pythagoras but also with
a significant number of other mathematicians, like Leibniz, for
instance. Mathematical models can be found for almost all levels of
musical activities from composition to sound production by
traditional instruments or by digital means. Modern music theory
has been incorporating more and more mathematical content during
the last decades. This book offers a journey into recent work
relating music and mathematics. It contains a large variety of
articles, covering the historical aspects, the influence of logic
and mathematical thought in composition, perception and
understanding of music and the computational aspects of musical
sound processing. The authors illustrate the rich and deep
interactions that exist between Mathematics and Music.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Third
International Conference on Mathematics and Computation in Music,
MCM 2011, held in Paris, France, in June 2011. The 24 revised full
papers presented and the 12 short papers were carefully reviewed
and selected from 62 submissions. The MCM conference is the
flagship conference of the Society for Mathematics and Computation
in Music. This year's conference aimed to provide a
multi-disciplinary platform dedicated to the communication and
exchange of ideas amongst researchers involved in mathematics,
computer science, music theory, composition, musicology, or other
related disciplines. Areas covered were formalization and
geometrical representation of musical structures and processes;
mathematical models for music improvisation and gestures theory;
set-theoretical and transformational approaches; computational
analysis and cognitive musicology as well as more general
discussions on history, philosophy and epistemology of music and
mathematics.

Mathemusical Conversations celebrates the understanding of music
through mathematics, and the appreciation of mathematics through
music. This volume is a compilation of the invited talks given at
the Mathemusical Conversations workshop that took place in
Singapore from 13-15 February 2015, organized by Elaine Chew in
partnership with Gerard Assayag for the scientific program and with
Bernard Lanskey for the artistic program. The contributors are
world experts and leading scholars, writing on the intersection of
music and mathematics. They also focus on performance and
composition, two topics which are foundational both to the
understanding of human creativity and to the creation of tomorrow's
music technologies. This book is essential reading for researchers
in both music and mathematics. It will also appeal more broadly to
scholars, students, musicians, and anyone interested in new
perspectives on the intimate relationship between these two
universal human activities.
