Review
'... informative and well-written ... Not only does this book cover basic material thoroughly, it also presents much of interest to those already familiar with the area of math and music. And the author provides a wealth of citations to the often scattered literature on the subject.' Zentralblatt MATH '... an excellent introduction to the interdisciplinary subject of music and mathematics (which also involves physics, biology, psycho-acoustics, and the history of science and digital technology). The book can easily be used as the text for undergraduate courses.' The Mathematical Intelligencer
Review
"Perhaps our children will one day remark on the group symmetries in their favorite music in the way that we now simply note a beautiful tune. They, no less than we, will have much to learn from this delightful book, which sets a new standard of excellence and inclusiveness. Anyone who knows some college-level mathematics and is curious about how it can illuminate music will be richly rewarded by reading Benson's outstanding book."
