520 3 _aThis first volume of The Physics of Sound and Music: A complete course text is a textbook providing a complete resource to accompany undergraduate courses on the physics of sound and music, and is supplemented by the lab manual in volume two of this two-volume set. This textbook is written in an accessible, clear and conversational style with the intent of engaging students and teaching physics without appearing overwhelming. The book starts with an introduction to sound and music, then discusses various aspects of sound, from how it is produced to how it propagates and how we hear it. The remainder of the book focuses on the various aspects of music, from musical tones to musical instruments, and concludes with a discussion of how sound can be recorded for replay. Problems and solutions are provided in each chapter.
521 _aThis is a core text for one-semester, undergraduate (100-level) courses on the physics of sound or music. It will be particularly useful for courses aimed at non-physics majors with little experience of algebra or calculus.
530 _aAlso available in print.
538 _aMode of access: World Wide Web.
538 _aSystem requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.
