Math and Music theory books Are there any good books on musical theory from a mathematical standpoint? Is "Music theory and mathematics : chords, collections, and transformations", edited by Jack Douthett, Martha M. Hyde, and Charles J. Smith, one on them?

There's Music: a mathematical offering by Dave Benson. It can be downloaded from his website.

There's Philip Ball's the Music Instinct, although this would be more from the science point of view than the mathematical one.
