This post presents three simple math/art visualizations having to do with music and sound. All three were made for Bob Bosch’s Math Art class at Oberlin College in Spring 2022, and inspired by material covered in Chris Marx’s Spring 2022 Harmonic Analysis class.
These three visualizations are meant to be fascinating even if you do not understand the underlying math and music. But I will explain the concepts behind each of them and justify why I think they are interesting.
