THE MATH AND MUSIC COURSE 

Each spring I teach the course Mathematics 109/Music 109M, Mathematics & Music, a course I designed. It was first taught in the spring of 2002 (which was the first time such a course was offered at Washington University - click here to download the flyer that was used to advertise the course).

The class meets MWF 1-2 in Life Sciences, Room 118. My grader and assistant for the course this past spring was Michael Deutsch, a graduate student in the Department of Mathematics. The syllabus used in 2009 can be seen by clicking here, or you can download the syllabus as a pdf file by clicking below. It gives a description of the course, homework policy, exam dates, and office hours. Other downloads from the course appear below. These include handouts, links, homework, exams, and exam solutions.
