    Professor Erin Gee and Professor Jonathan Touboul

    Mathematical patterns, symmetries, sequences, modular relationships, and order are ubiquitous in music.

With the advent of computers and mathematical methods in recent years, new concepts have been implemented into algorithmic music composition. The purpose of this class is to provide students with an introduction to the deep relationship between mathematics and music, to present in depth a collection of selected topics that highlight the influence of symmetries, patterns, stochastic structures and geometrical analysis, and to encourage the students to explore those links in a creative final project.
