Overview
What you will study
Connections between music and mathematics have been recognised since the time of the ancient Greeks.
The Music and Mathematics course offered by University of Oxford will cover the following topics:

- Roy Howat discusses the ways in which composers use – consciously or unconsciously – mathematical proportions such as the Golden Section in their music.
- The composers and musicologist, Robert Laidlow, explores the artistic possibilities presented by technologies including virtual reality, video games, and artificial intelligence in the context of classical music.

The program focuses on:
