Oxford Mathematics Public Lecture: Marcus du Sautoy - The Sound of Symmetry and the Symmetry of Sound

From Bach’s Goldberg Variations to Schoenberg’s Twelve-tone rows, composers have exploited symmetry to create variations on a theme. But symmetry is also embedded in the very way instruments make sound. The lecture culminates in a reconstruction of nineteenth-century scientist Ernst Chladni's exhibition that famously toured the courts of Europe to reveal extraordinary symmetrical shapes in the vibrations of a metal plate.

Marcus du Sautoy is Charles Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science at Oxford University.
