Musimathics: v. 2

Volume 2 of Musimathics continues the story of music
engineering begun in Volume 1, focusing on the digital and computational domain. Loy
goes deeper into the mathematics of music and sound, beginning with digital audio,
sampling, and binary numbers, as well as complex numbers and how they simplify
representation of musical signals. Chapters cover the Fourier transform,
convolution, filtering, resonance, the wave equation, acoustical systems, sound
synthesis, the short-time Fourier transform, and the wavelet transform. These
subjects provide the theoretical underpinnings of today's music technology. The
examples given are all practical problems in music and audio.
