Springer - Music, Mathematics and Language Book

Explore the intersection of sound and science with Music, Mathematics and Language: The New Horizon of Computational Musicology Opened by Information Science. Published by Springer, this book offers a fresh perspective on computational musicology by treating music as a computational entity rooted in human cognition. It allows readers to approach music with the same mathematical precision used for numbers. Through a deep investigation into whether music possesses semantics, the authors use symbols and language to uncover the essence of musical expression. The text moves from fundamental theoretical questions to practical historical analysis, helping readers understand how information science changes our perception of auditory art. This work is a significant addition for those interested in how cognitive reality and mathematical structures define the musical experience.
