Set Theory
« on: October 12, 2009, 04:21:19 PM »
Hay

I'm trying to learn this newfangled thing atm called Set Theory, or Pitch-Class Set Analayis or whatever it is and it's flooring me...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_theory_%28music%29 I believe is what it is.

Do any of you have any experience learning this kind of stuff? I have a class tomorrow morning in it, and 100 pages of material to plough through and I'm struggling to focus on only one page, seems so damn confusing. I figured this board would be the place I'm most likely to find someone.

Wayhey! That's cool. I'm not really looking for any specific advice yet, just wondering if anyone else has done it since I've never heard of it before and it seems really complicated. Though from my lectures/studying so far it kinda seems like it might just be simple mathematics.
