There are nine metings this quarter (no meeting on week 9, June 1) plus a make-up meeting during finals week to be scheduled. The plan so far is:

• Apr 6. representations of pitch and frequency
• Apr 13. tone rows, sets, and all that
• Apr 20. representations of time
• Apr 27-May 4. stochastic processes
• May 11. Generative algorithms (L systems, fractals and chaos, linguistic parsers)
