Student Projects

I mentored the following students on their projects during the 2006 and 2007 REU Programs.

Padraic Bartlett, Triads and topos theory.

Hannah Gordon, The neo-Riemannian group.

John Sternberg, Conceptualizing music through mathematics and the generalized interval system.

One student, inspired by my REU lectures, wrote his paper entirely independently:

Milan Kidd, An introduction to the practical use of music-mathematics.
