Customer Reviews

This was a pleasant surprise as a gift to me.
I received this unexpectantly. I enjoyed this thoroughly. I would recommend this to any one who is new to the concept of Math and Music being related and needing a rather easy and non complex explanation. The author diagrams nicely the examples with the explanations. I really think this book would be good a text book in either a high school music or math course in the history of the subject. Thank you to the person who knew me well enough to give this to me. I like this book so much that I almost read it cover to cover in one sitting.

A real eye opener on how math affects more than you thought.
This book was one of the handiest and dandiest things I've ever read. It's extremely interesting, so long as you know what you're talking about. If you're not in a high level of mathematic capabilities, a lot of this will seem like junk that is interesting, but you have no clue how it works. It reveals some of the most interesting phonomena I've ever heard of, such as the flicker noise. Scaling fractals, harmonies of the worlds. This is what got me interested in astrophisics. It's a great book. Read it, live it, love it.

Good introduction to Fibonacci Numbers for younger readers
This book is well-crafted and interesting. It should hold the interest of all beginners in this topic.

It is not without its faults, however. As discussed in my book Fractals in Music, the analysis of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony as based on Fibonacci numbers is not correct.
