Abstract

Music is presented as a setting for teaching nonlinear dynamics, showing how different sequences of notes may illustrate ideas such as the sensitivity to initial conditions, and the dynamics and chaotic behaviour connected with fixed-point and limit-cycle attractors. The aim is not music composition, but a first approach to an interdisciplinary tool suitable for a single session class at preuniversity or freshman level introducing these important physical concepts.
