Mathematics, Music and Art
This Nuffield Advanced Mathematics option consisted of two units of work on different themes. A likely model for coursework was that students would develop an aspect of interest from one of the themes into a longer project.
There are a variety of types of topic within the chapters of this book. In the ‘Music and mathematics’ unit, for example, there are activities on the nature of musical notes and sound waves as well as on the structure of particular pieces of music. In the ‘Perspective and other projections’ unit there are also a variety of topics. For example, the unit contains some purely geometric questions, tips on how to sketch in perspective, an account of the use of coordinates, and some historical investigations.
