We have signed up with three aggregators who resell networkable e-book editions of our titles to academic libraries. These aggregators offer a variety of plans to libraries, such as simultaneous access by multiple library patrons, and access to portions of titles at a fraction of list price under what is commonly referred to as a “patron-driven demand” model.
These editions, priced at par with simultaneous hardcover editions of our titles, are not available direct from Stylus, but only from the following aggregators:
- Ebook Library, a service of Ebooks Corporation Ltd. of Australia
- ebrary, based in Palo Alto, a subsidiary of ProQuest
- EBSCO / netLibrary, Alabama
as well as through the following wholesalers: The Yankee Book Peddler subsidiary of Baker & Taylor, Inc.

The book presents the fundamentals of music science, followed by a discussion on the historical evolution of music. An
introduction to the analysis of signals in time and frequency is presented,
which includes sound and noise. Features and mathematical aspects of the sound
are discussed, including vibration and timbre.
The book presents a review of existing voice
models and discusses the voice production, sound perception, music characteristics and acoustics, tempo, rhythm and harmony. Musical theory is presented, including staff, notes, alterations, keys and intervals, tones and associated frequencies and wavelengths.
The creation of major and minor scales is
emphasized, along with a study on consonance and dissonance, measure, metric, tempo markings, dynamics, modulation. The book also explains the chord formation, and discusses melody and composition.
The book has four appendices, including an
appendix on the basic differentiation and integration theorems, another with
useful Fourier tables, and an appendix featuring the notes, their frequencies
and wavelengths. The book also has a
glossary of music terms.
This book is aimed at musicians, scientists, engineers, mathematicians, physicists, computer analysts. It is also useful for communication and information technology professionals. It is expected to be used as a textbook for courses in Music Science, Music Theory, Sound Theory or Signal Analysis.
