Emblems of Mind – The Inner Life of Music and Mathematics
Edward Rothstein
One is a science, the other an art; one useful, the other seemingly decorative, but mathematics and music share common origins in cult and mystery. This work explains how mathematics makes sense of space, how music tells a story, how theories are constructed, how melody is shaped. It argues that they are images of the mind at work and play.
