Mathematical Impressions: Making Music with a Möbius Strip: Scientific American

Mathematical Impressions: Making Music with a Möbius Strip: Scientific American: "The connections between mathematics and music are many. For example, the differential equations of vibrating strings and surfaces help us understand harmonics and tuning systems, rhythm analysis tells us the ways a measure can be divided into beats, and the study of symmetry relates to the translations in time and pitch that occur in a fugue or canon."
