Tom Mike Apostol (/ ə ˈ p ɑː s əl / ə-POSS-əl; [1] August 20, 1923 – May 8, 2016) [2] was an American mathematician and professor at the California Institute of Technology specializing in analytic number theory, best known as the author of widely used mathematical textbooks.
The Project Mathematics! series of videos is a teaching aid for teachers to help students understand the basics of geometry and trigonometry.The series was developed by Tom M. Apostol and James F. Blinn, both from the California Institute of Technology.
Sheet music, primarily vocal music of American imprint, dating from the 18th century to the present, with most titles in the period 1840–1950. John Hay Library at Brown University: ART SONG CENTRAL: downloadable, IPA transcriptions, vocal: 1,000 Printable sheet music primarily for singers and voice teachers—most downloadable.
Music theory analyzes the pitch, timing, and structure of music. It uses mathematics to study elements of music such as tempo, chord progression, form, and meter. The attempt to structure and communicate new ways of composing and hearing music has led to musical applications of set theory, abstract algebra and number theory.
Caltech mathematician Tom M. Apostol joined the Mechanical Universe production staff in order to ensure that the series did not compromise on the quality of the mathematics it presented. Seeing an example of Blinn's computer animation for the first time convinced Apostol that the series could bring mathematics "to life in a way that cannot be ...
In music theory, a perfect fifth is the musical interval corresponding to a pair of pitches with a frequency ratio of 3:2, or very nearly so.. In classical music from Western culture, a fifth is the interval from the first to the last of the first five consecutive notes in a diatonic scale. [2]
Flat and sharp are mutually inverse isomorphisms of smooth vector bundles, hence, for each p in M, there are mutually inverse vector space isomorphisms between T p M and T ∗ p M. The flat and sharp maps can be applied to vector fields and covector fields by applying them to each point. Hence, if X is a vector field and ω is a covector field,
The Schillinger system of musical composition, named after Joseph Schillinger (1895–1943) is a method of musical composition based on mathematical processes. It comprises theories of rhythm, harmony, melody, counterpoint, form and semantics, purporting to offer a systematic and non-genre approach to music analysis and composition; a descriptive rather than prescriptive grammar of music.
