Synopsis

This engaging undergraduate text uses the performance, recording, and enjoyment of music to present basic principles of physics. The narrative lays out specific results from physics, as well as some of the methodology, thought processes, and 'interconnectedness' of physics concepts, results, and ideas. Short chapters start with basic definitions and everyday observations, and ultimately work through standard topics including vibrations, waves, acoustics, and electronics applications. Each chapter includes problems, some of which are suited for longer-term projects, and suggestions for extra reading which guide students toward a deeper understanding of the physics behind music application. To aid teaching, additional review questions, audio and video clips, and suggestions for class activities are provided online for instructors.
