The Fundamentals of Sound Science by Elena Borovitskaya
Teaches the principles of the physics of sound, as well as basic principles of physics, by linking them to music and musical instruments. The book begins by asking students to question the meaning of sound itself. Through the next six chapters students learn about harmonic motion, waves, the sources and physical properties of sound, and measurements of loudness.
Elena Borovitskaya earned her Ph.D. in physics and mathematics at the Institute of Applied Physics, Russian Academy of Science in Nizhni Novgorod, Russia. Her area of expertise is the physics of low-dimensional systems such as quantum wells, quantum wires, and quantum dots. Dr. Borovitskaya also studied music in Nizhni Novgorod, and her two areas of interest and expertise enabled her to connect the languages of physics and music. She is currently a faculty member at Temple University in Philadelphia, where she enjoys teaching a variety of courses – musical acoustics being her favorite.
