Georgia State’s CENCIA initiative is hosting the Symbols for Sound: Exploring Mathematical Music Theory this week, an interdisciplinary event which looks at the intersection between music and mathematics. The 2-day program contains a variety of activities, including speakers and live performances. It all kicks off today, April 4, at 1pm, with a symposium in the Rialto Center. See a full list of activities on CENCIA’s website.
