In addition to the artistic and creative possibilities, the long-term goal of this initiative is to develop a learning and pedagogical mindset where STEM concepts and music are taught in tandem. This Princeton iteration of "Hearing Math" is presented jointly by Princeton University Concerts and the Princeton University Department of Mathematics.
