Using maths to explore the music of Taylor Swift – with Dr Nathan Garland
We admit it. Even The Random Sample can’t resist the hype around the world’s biggest music star, Taylor Swift.
Almost on a dare from his wife – and to make a point with his students – Griffith University’s Dr Nathan Garland decided to open up his mathematical toolkit and explore the music of Taylor Swift.
In this episode, Nathan tells us what he used from his mathematical toolkit and what he uncovered about Taylor Swift’s music.
Our host for this episode is Rose Crocker, an applied mathematician with the Australian Institute of Marine Science.
