探索数学与音乐联系的WSU讲座

OGDEN, Utah — A single vibrating string on a violin can unlock a world of mathematical and musical connections, according to David Kung, a mathematics professor from St. Mary’s College in Maryland.

Kung will explore the relationship and similarities between math and music during his lecture “Harmonious Equations: A Mathematical Exploration of Music” in 新葡京app State University’s Lind Lecture Hall Rooms 125-126, Feb. 8 at 7 p.m.

虽然数学和音乐似乎不相容，但龚说它们有着惊人的共同点。 在讲座中，龚将深入探讨三个不同的连接领域。 他的演讲将包括跳绳、旋转塑料管和酒杯。 龚将演奏音乐的例子，以配合他所涵盖的每一个概念。

此外，龚将对作曲家约翰·塞巴斯蒂安·巴赫的作品进行数学分析，以揭示他所谓的音乐表面下的结构。

龚以给学生提供创新课程而闻名，这些课程通常将艺术和科学结合起来。 他教授的课程将数学与社会正义、音乐或谜语等不同学科联系起来。

除了他的学术生涯，孔是一个活跃的音乐家。 他从4岁起就开始拉小提琴。 他现在担任社区管弦乐队的首席小提琴手，并与学生一起演奏室内乐。

“I’ve loved both math and music since I was a kid,” Kung said. “I was thrilled to discover the many connections between those two passions of mine.”

Kung’s lecture is part of the Richards Mathematics Lecture Series, which is made possible by the donations of Franklin and Lisa Richards. 这些讲座旨在提高校园和社区的数学意识。

“We are honored to have David Kung deliver the Richards Mathematics Lecture,” said 保罗•Talaga WSU mathematics department chair. “It is sure to be informative as well as entertaining.”
