Sobre IBD

Un martes por la noche, una niña de doce años que afinaba su violín junto al piano del aula hizo una pregunta de cuatro palabras: ¿Por qué tiene doce?. Su maestra de matemáticas, que creía saber bastante de música, descubrió que no sabía responder. Este libro es lo que salió de esa noche.El paisaje matemático de la música es un recorrido, de la mano de una narradora cálida y con humor, por los ocho lugares donde los números y la música se tocan:No hace falta saber música ni haber pasado de la matemática de la secundaria. Cada capítulo gira alrededor de una sola fórmula, dicha primero en palabras; cada idea llega con un experimento pequeño para hacer esta noche, con un piano, un celular o una liga estirada sobre una caja de cartón. Veintiocho diagramas y veintiún viñetas dibujan lo que las palabras explican.Para quien canta en el carro, dejó el piano a los diez años o simplemente quiere saber por qué la música que ama le pone la piel de gallina. La matemática no hace más fría a la música: toma lo que tu oído ya sabía y, por fin, le pone nombre.Hui Quan es doctora en matemáticas y dirige un centro de formación de jóvenes matemáticos en Austin, Texas, donde entrena a estudiantes de olimpiada. Este es su primer libro sobre música. Edición en español adaptada al lector latinoamericano.
