Music is filled with mathematical elements. The works of Bach are often said to possess a math-like logic and Arnold Schoenberg Iannis Xenakis and Karlheinz Stockhausen wrote music explicitly based on mathematical principles. Yet Eli Maor argues that it is music that has had the greater influence on mathematics not the other way around. Starting with Pythagoras proceeding through Schoenberg and bringing the story up to the present with contemporary string theory Music by the Numbers tells a fascinating story of composers scientists inventors and eccentrics who have played a role in the age-old relationship between music mathematics and the physical sciences. Weaving compelling stories of historical episodes with Maor's personal reflections as a mathematician and lover of classical music this book will delight anyone who loves math and music.
