Title
The Mathematics of Musical Set Theory
Description
Musical set theory applies some key ideas from set theory and other fields of mathematics to the analysis of (mostly) atonal music in twelve tone equal temperament. Its goal is to achieve an understanding of the structure of music by first reducing it to fundamental musical objects that can be related using relatively simple set theoretical ideas.
