Subject: Science of Physical Universe 13 - TFs needed
To: "Aspuru-Guzik, Alan" <aspuru(a)chemistry.harvard.edu>
Hi Alan,
Here's the Heller course that still needs TFs He's looking to fill two
sections, so it could be either quarter- or half-time. He writes that "
they need to be musically or acoustically at least somewhat inclined." If
you could check with your group, that would be great.
Thanks,
Joe
Science of Physical Universe 13
Why You Hear What You Hear: The Science of Music and Sound
Mon, Wed 2:30-4:00
Sound and music are integral parts of all human cultures, and play critical
roles in communications and social interactions. In this course, we study
the production, transmission, and perception of sound, with the aim of
expanding communication, musical, and artistic horizons. The course
includes many class demos and hands on tools for students to explore.
Psychoacoustics (the study of how we perceive and interpret sound) is a
central theme of the course, providing a lens through which we can better
understand the generation, propagation, and analysis of sound.
Student-selected projects (with staff consultation) are an important part
of the course.
