Precalculus - Unit Six
The Math of Music
In this unit you will explore more deeply how trigonometry applies to music theory. In order to promote a book, you will build a homemade musical instrument and tune the instrument using trigonometric graphs. You will create a presentation to persuade publishing companies to publish your book. The presentation will include excerpts from your book relating the instrument you build to its mathematical connections.
