Mathematics and Computation in Music: Second International Conference, MCM 2009, New Haven, CT, USA, June 19-22, 2009. Proceedings (Communications in Computer and Information Science (38))

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the Second International Conference on Mathematics and Computation in Music, MCM 2009, held in New Haven, CT, USA, in June 2009. The 26 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 38 submissions. The MCM conference is the flagship conference of the Society for Mathematics and Computation in Music. The papers deal with topics within applied mathematics, computational models, mathematical modelling and various further aspects of the theory of music. This year's conference is dedicated to the honor of John Clough whose research modeled the virtues of collaborative work across the disciplines.
