Audio Mathematics

Believe it or not, many of the fundamental relationships governing the nature of sound and audio technology are best understood through fairly simple mathematical descriptions.

This is a one-semester “refresher” course for those who have been away from the subject for a while. It reintroduces you to important mathematical concepts and terminology that will pop up throughout OIART's entire program — particularly in Recording Technology, Pro Tools™, Acoustics and Live Sound courses.
