The attempt to structure and communicate new ways of composing and hearing music has led to musical applications of set theory, abstract algebra and number theory. While music theory has no axiomatic foundation in modern mathematics, the basis of musical sound can be described mathematically (using acoustics) and exhibits "a remarkable array of ...
In linear algebra, a finite-dimensional vector space is isomorphic to its dual space, but not canonically isomorphic to it. On the other hand, a finite-dimensional vector space V {\displaystyle V} endowed with a non-degenerate bilinear form ⋅ , ⋅ {\displaystyle \langle \cdot ,\cdot \rangle } , is canonically isomorphic to its dual.

Music theorists sometimes use mathematics to understand music, and although music has no axiomatic foundation in modern mathematics, mathematics is "the basis of sound" and sound itself "in its musical aspects... exhibits a remarkable array of number properties", simply because nature itself "is amazingly mathematical". [87]
Math 55 is a two-semester freshman undergraduate mathematics course at Harvard University founded by Lynn Loomis and Shlomo Sternberg.The official titles of the course are Studies in Algebra and Group Theory (Math 55a) [1] and Studies in Real and Complex Analysis (Math 55b). [2]
The fundamental concept of musical set theory is the (musical) set, which is an unordered collection of pitch classes. [4] More exactly, a pitch-class set is a numerical representation consisting of distinct integers (i.e., without duplicates). [5]
The books in this series, like the other Springer-Verlag mathematics series, are small yellow books of a standard size. The books in this series tend to be written at a more elementary level than the similar Graduate Texts in Mathematics series, although there is a fair amount of overlap between the two series in terms of material covered and ...
Schenkerian analysis is a method of analyzing tonal music based on the theories of Heinrich Schenker (1868–1935). The goal is to demonstrate the organic coherence of the work by showing how the "foreground" (all notes in the score) relates to an abstracted deep structure, the Ursatz.
