内容説明
For courses in Physics of Sound/Music.
Using a hands-on and experimental approach, this book incorporates developments in digital audio technology-including consumer products-into a firm foundation of the physics of sound. Selected topics are interesting to a broad audience, with many applications of sound and waves beyond strictly musical applications. No background in physics, mathematics, or music is required.
