Music and Mathematics - Interesting Research Paper - Attention drawn

[Guest guest]

Namaste

 

MaY I go slightly out of the advaita topic and draw the

attention of those who are interested, to a most recent

wonderful paper (published in Journal of Integer Sequences,

Vol.5, 2002)of Prof. K. Balasubramanian, a Professor of

Chemistry and Material Science, wherein he uses powerful

combinatorial techniques of Mathematics to (not only) enumerate

exhaustively (but also) generate (new) ragas of Indian music.

Earlier attempts at this work have been empirical; the present

method is highly mathematical and takes systematic account of

all possible repetitions as well as equivalences of various

kinds. The whole paper (21 pages) can be accessed from the

following:

praNAms to all advaitins who are also lovers of music.
