Physics Behind Music
«'This textbook is written with a palpable passion for physics, music, and communicating science to others. What makes it stand out from other physics texts is the deep connection with music, both in terms of using physics to explain principles underpinning music, but also in terms of capturing the philosophy of both fields. The book does not shy away from the human perception side of the story, which is critical in music and rarely, if ever, considered in physics. I will assign it to the reading list for the Science of Music module that I teach.' Oksana Trushkevych, University of Warwick»
This engaging undergraduate text uses the performance, recording, and enjoyment of music to present basic principles of physics. The narrative lays out specific results from physics, as well as some of the methodology, thought processes, and 'interconnectedness' of physics concepts, results, and ideas. Les mer

«'I highly recommend this book. The text is readable, and suitable for a broad range of student levels. The end-of-chapter problems connect well with the chapter content, and provide a reasonable balance of beginning and advanced questions. The progression of topics is logical, the range is wide, and the content intriguing.' Ananda Shastri, Minnesota State University Moorhead»
