bugshaw at 12:19pm on 17/10/2006Cambridge Music Festival is happening this November, and has as its theme Mozart, Maths and Music. As well as concerts, there are a couple of talks I'd be interested in seeing. Admission is by free ticket, and they always sell out. Anyone else interested in coming, before I go get tickets? Both are 5-6pm, Centre of Mathematical Sciences, Clarkson Road.
Thur 16 Nov: Yea, Why Try Her Raw Wet Hat?
What does it mean to say that Maths and Music go together? This illustrated lecture features music from Tallis and Back to Bartók and Hindemith, and answers such questions as Why are pianos always out of tune? Can music have a 'geometry'? What is the meaning of the title of this talk?
Tues 21 Nov: Dancing with Maths
Why should mathematicians be interested in Folk Dancing? With the accompaniment of live folk music, this lecture will explore the mathematical significance of traditional dance forms, and may even get the audience on its feet!
