Measured Tones: The Interplay of Physics and Music by Ian Johnston

Measured Tones: The Interplay of Physics and Music
by Ian Johnston

Most books concerned with physics and music take an approach that puts physical theory before application.

Ian Johnston is a physicist interested in music and with a belief that the two fields have much to offer one another.

The purpose of Measured Tones: The Interplay of Physics and Music is to show that, by linking the two subjects, enjoyment of music can be increased and so can the understanding of physics.

Anyone with an interest in music will find that an appreciation of the physics will add to their enjoyment: general science readers, practicing scientists with an interest in music, musicians and music students; undergraduate students of music taking option courses in physics of music and those taking extra mural or adult education courses in music.
