| Abstrakt: | As part of a course on Music & Math, my Honors class studied Clapping Music by Steve Reich. This is a musical composition consisting of varying rhythm patterns. The composer's variation method uses permutations of a basic pattern. Our study led to the notions of groups and cyclic groups. This article also discusses assessment and one student's extension of this topic. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
