《數(shù)學(xué)與音樂雜志》旨在促進數(shù)學(xué)建模和計算在音樂理論中的應(yīng)用。該雜志側(cè)重于音樂結(jié)構(gòu)和過程的數(shù)學(xué)方法，包括對音樂理論或作曲問題的數(shù)學(xué)研究，以及對音樂作品或表演的數(shù)學(xué)分析。考慮到有關(guān)音樂知識的深層本體論和認(rèn)識論問題，該雜志開放了一系列廣泛的方法和主題，特別是那些已建立的研究領(lǐng)域以外的，如聲學(xué)，聲音工程，聽覺知覺，語言學(xué)等。該雜志每年出版三期，其中一期專門討論一個主題。該雜志的網(wǎng)絡(luò)版以聲音文件、小程序或類似電子媒體的形式提供了擴展材料。該雜志還歡迎提交書評。

Journal of Mathematics and Music aims to advance the use of mathematical modelling and computation in music theory. The Journal focuses on mathematical approaches to musical structures and processes, including mathematical investigations into music-theoretic or compositional issues as well as mathematically motivated analyses of musical works or performances. In consideration of the deep unsolved ontological and epistemological questions concerning knowledge about music, the Journal is open to a broad array of methodologies and topics, particularly those outside of established research fields such as acoustics, sound engineering, auditory perception, linguistics etc. Three issues of the Journal are published per annual volume, with one issue devoted exclusively to a single topic. The online edition of the Journal provides extended material in the form of sound files, applets, or similar electronic media. The Journal also welcomes the submission of book reviews.
