商品描述(中文翻譯)
《音樂節奏的幾何學》的原版是第一本提供系統性且易於理解的計算幾何分析世界音樂節奏的書籍。它解釋了音樂節奏的數學性質研究如何產生在各種看似不相關的領域中出現的共同數學問題。這本書還介紹了距離方法在系統發生分析中的應用,並說明了其在音樂節奏研究中的應用。新版本保留了所有這些內容,同時增加了100頁、93幅圖、225個新參考文獻,以及六個新章節,涵蓋了如節拍與度量複雜性、節奏分組、節奏表現中的表現音色與時機,以及古希臘Paeonic節奏的進化系統發生分析等主題。此外,還提供了更多背景資訊,以使讀者對音樂與數學之間的歷史聯繫有更全面和深入的了解。
作者簡介
Godfried T. Toussaint is a Canadian computer scientist born in Belgium. Presently, he is a Research Professor of Computer Science at the University of New York, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, a Research Affiliate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, a Researcher in the Center for Interdisciplinary Research in Music Media and Technology (CIRMMT) in the Schulich School of Music at McGill University, and an Emeritus Professor of Computer Science at McGill. After receiving a PhD in electrical engineering from the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, he taught and did research at the School of Computer Science at McGill University, in the areas of information theory, pattern recognition, pattern analysis and design, computational geometry, instance-based learning, music information retrieval, and computational music theory. In 1978, he received the Pattern Recognition Society's Best Paper of the Year Award and in 1985 he was awarded a Senior Killam Research Fellowship by the Canada Council. In May 2001, he was awarded the David Thomson Award for excellence in graduate supervision and teaching at McGill University. He is a founder and cofounder of several international conferences and workshops on computational geometry. He is an editor of several journals, has appeared on television programs to explain his research on the mathematical analysis of flamenco rhythms, and has published more than 360 papers. In 2009, he was awarded a Radcliffe Fellowship by the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study at Harvard University, for the 2009-2010 academic year, to carry out a research project on the phylogenetic analysis of the musical rhythms of the world. After spending an additional year at Harvard University, in the music department, he moved in August 2011 to New York University in Abu Dhabi.
