Klein Concert: A Report from a Math-Musical Classroom Experience

2020

Can music help mathematical education? Can some shapes, that challenge visual imagination, be translated into music? I present a pedagogical application of my interdisciplinary research. This concerns a cycle of seminars about mathematics and music I gave in Italy at the Music Conservatory of Palermo and that, in a shortened version, I also gave at Ca’ Foscari University in Venice, at the Conservatory of Livorno, and in the UK, at the University of Greenwich. Seminars included a theoretical section and a workshop. Mathematical concepts helped students formalize their musical knowledge, and music provided an intuitive understanding of mathematical concepts, such as the dualism continuous/dis…
