In early August, Robert Schneider was one of the guest speakers at MathFest, the Mathematical Association of America’s summer math conference. If this surprises you, consider that Robert conceived of his own “Non-Pythagorean” musical scale for the Apples in Stereo album New Magnetic Wonder, that he interviewed mathematician Leonard Euhler at the 2007 MathFest, that Robert was interviewed in the February 23rd, 2008 issue of New Scientist, and that in his spare time he’s an undergraduate student in Mathematics at the University of Kentucky. Above is a photo of Robert talking at this year’s MathFest in Portland, Oregon, and below is a look at his abstract. Currently Robert is in Australia talking about music, for a change.
Don’t understand it, but have always been a fan of Robert’s since High school.
Don’t ask me, I was an English major.
