Many computer scientists and mathematicians have a serious interest in music, and it seems that those with a strong affinity or acuity in one of these disciplines is often strong in the other as well. It is quite natural then to consider how the two might interact. In fact, there is a long history of interactions between music and mathematics, dating back to the Greeks’ construction of musical scales based on arithmetic relationships, and including many classical composers use of mathematical structures, the formal harmonic analysis of music, and many modern music composition techniques. Advanced music theory uses ideas from diverse branches of mathematics such as number theory, abstract algebra, topology, category theory, calculus, and so on.
