Re: Digest Number 84

All-
Don't forget to aternate signs when computing the determinant of a
matrix by minors!

As for Neil's exhortation, Neil you know I love you but requiring
theorists to produce music is like requiring mathematicians to design
bridges. It's not that they can't do it, but it's not their job! Designing
is the job of engineers (composers) and is not part of the job
requirement of a theorist. If a theorist wants to produce music then
fine. It would be great to hear examples of the theoretical constructs,
and I'm sure such examples exist. If anyone wishes to provide .mp3 or .ra
samples of their constructs, I would be glad to make them available on my
website.
