Can you hear the shape of a drum?
Can two drums with different shapes make the same sound? This question was posed long ago and is surprisingly difficult to answer.
Try for yourself! You can learn how the shape of an instrument affects the sound waves it produces, and why the elementary particles in our world could be the result of waves traveling in hidden extra dimensions.
Join members of the Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics group for an exploration of music and shapes.
