Mathematics Across the Curriculum: Music
Bibliography
The original music theory articles:

23 (1979) 45-61.

diatonic systems", J. Music Theory 29 (1985) 249-269.
- John Clough and Jack Douthett, "Maximally even sets",
J. Music Theory 35 (1991) 93-173.
A mathematical approach to some of these concepts:
- John Clough and Gerald Myerson, "Musical scales and the generalized
circle of fifths", Amer. Math. Monthly 93 (1986) 695-701.
A physics approach (including the proof that maximally even sets are
energy minimizing):

configurations for the one-dimensional antiferromagnetic Ising model
with arbitrary-range interaction", J. Math. Physics 37 (7) (1996),
