For many years, each spring I taught the course Mathematics 109/Music 109M, Mathematics & Music, a course I designed. It was first taught in the spring of 2002 (which was the first time such a course was offered at Washington University - click here to download the flyer that was used to advertise the course).



The notes from this course were developed into a book called Mathematics and Music, published by the American Mathematical Society in 2009, which is now the textbook for the course. Click here for information on the book from the AMS website.
