Things I never knew before
This is a very interesting book; if you are interested in music and now it evolved mathematically; this is a good book. If you think about it "music is sound that is pleasing to the ear" as the definition has it. As such it must follow a set of rules. These rules are founded in mathematics. This book gives an insight into this in a readable way. You don't have to know a lot about maths to follow the reasoning either.
Very interesting; college or uni book
Extraordinary insight with plenty of musical and technical knowledge shared and explained. The book is a collection of essays that do (as they say) take you from early tunings and temperament, through the maths of sound, to the odd approaches to composing (e.g. Schoenberg). You need to be dedicated to the technological side of music, I would say, to appreciate this book, and open to peculiar methods of composing if you have a classical background. I'd say this is more of a college or university course book than an essential one for the musician. Very interesting it is, though.

Un paseo matemático de la música
Exciting correlation between 🎼 and Math
I made have to read this twice. Lots of thoughts.
A good read!
I bought this for my daughter, who is doing music and maths at A level. She read it cover to cover in 3 days and said it was great. What more can you want?
