Diderot Mathematical Forums     

FOURTH DIDEROT MATHEMATICAL FORUM

The cycle of conferences "Diderot Mathematical Forum" features two conferences a year which take place simultaneously in three European cities exchanging information by telecommunication. Each cycle addresses three different aspects of mathematics: fundamental mathematics, applications of mathematics and the relation of both to society. This year's forum is devoted to

 

MATHEMATICS AND MUSIC

and will take place in

LISBON, PARIS and VIENNA

on

December 3-4, 1999

VIENNA

Organiser: Hans G. FEICHTINGER (University of Vienna)

Theme: "Mathematical and computational methods in Music"

In collaboration with the Austrian Mathematical Society, the Austrian Academy of Sciences, the Mathematische Zirkel der Universität Wien and the OECG.

The aim of this conference is to bring together mathematicians interested in or working on subjects of relevance to music, and musicians who make use of computational methods or would like to learn more about possibilities offered by mathematical approaches.

Topics: Synthesis, Analysis, Restoration, "Instrumental Optimisation", Coding of musical information, Mathematical models for musical sound or rhythm
