Upcoming New book on Mathematics and Music

Perhaps you're aware of it, but I happened to see this & thought I'd mention it :

Assayag, G., ICRAM, Paris, France; Feichtinger, H.G., University of Vienna, Austria; Rodrigues, J.F., University of Lisbon, Portugal (Eds.)

Mathematics and Music

A Diderot Mathematical Forum

2002. Approx. 290 p. Hardcover
3-540-43727-4

Publication date: July 2002
Recommended Retail Price: EUR 64,95

If this insane link doesn't work, just do a search for "music" on the Springer-Verlag site <http://www.springer.de/>:

It's not yet out, but it looks like something many here should be interested in, and may well look forward to. Especially since it's "Written for: Mathematicians, Physicists". See the downloadable Table of Contents (PDF). Needless to say, I am unfortunately not by any stretch the illustrious Rodrigues listed among the authors, though I am Portuguese.

Cheers,

Nothing really useful, but...

Useful:
"Rodrigues, J.F., University of Lisbon, Portugal" is José
Francisco Rodrigues, Director of the Centro de Matematica e
Aplicacoes Fundamentais and  Professor of Mathematics at the
University of Lisbon. Which I discovered though some googling to
http://wmy2000.math.jussieu.fr/9_macao.htm. And, from the Google
search results it appears that the math-music connection is a
speciality of his.

Not useful personal trivia:
In the Portuguese world José (pronounced zhoo-ze unlike the
Spanish ho-zey) & Francisco are as common as Joe & Frank, which
is probably how the former is my father's name, and the latter
my Grandfather's.

Tchau,
Joel
