Apfel, R. E. Deaf Architects & Blind Acousticians? New Haven: Apple Enterprises Press, 1998.
This source is very readable. It describes the basics of sound as well and relates it to both music and architecture.
Barrow, J. D. Theories of Everything. Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1991. Pg. 188-193.
This source offers a nice tie-in between mathematics and physics describing how each has led to development of parts of the other.
Bellman, A., et al. Advanced Algebra. Needham: Prentice Hall, 1998. Pg. 400-456.
This is a traditional textbook that covers all of Algebra II. It is student friendly and easily red. Chapter 9 deals with trigonometry directly.
Bredenweg, D., Elsner-McCall, K., Komon, A. and Lally, S. Holt Physics: Lab Experiments. Austin: Holt, Rinehart, and Winston, 1999. Pg. 53-58.
This lab experiment book goes hand in hand with the Holt Physics book. There are two experiments listed, one has students create their own instruments and the other deals with resonance and the nature of sound
Cutnell, J. D. and Johnson, K. W. Physics. Fourth Edition. New York: John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1998. Pg. 458-493.
This is a traditional college level physics book. The book will be easily read by students, this book offers clear explanations of frequency, period, wavelength, decibels, etc. It also offers nice applications of sound.
Marson, R. Sound: 20 Task Card Activities. Oregon, 1990.
This is a wonderful resource with lots of further activities. It includes notes for the teacher and 20 tasks or experiments that can be given to the students.
Rossing, T. D. The Science of Sound. Massachusetts: Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, 1990.
This text is very involved and definitely more geared to the educator than the student. In covers extensively the concepts of music and sound, how the ear hears, and the mathematics of sound. It is very detailed and worth the read.
Ryan, M., Doubet, M. E., Fabricant, M., and Rockhill, T. D. Advanced Mathematics: A Precalculus Approach. Englewood Cliffs: Prentice Hall, 1993. Pg. 118-327.
This is a traditional approach to Pre-calculus ideas. It focuses heavily on trigonometry in chapters 3 through 6 with lots of practice. The practice focuses on skills as well as application. Occasionally extra explanation is needed from the instructor for students understanding.
Serway, R. A. and Faughn, J. S. Holt Physics. Austin: Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1999. Pg. 437 –517.
Holt presents a very student friendly text. Chapter 12 deals with vibrations and waves with nice graphics and explanations. Chapter 13 concentrates on sound with clear explanations, giving a general background. This text also goes nicely into the mechanics of hearing. I recommend this as a nice introduction for teacher and student alike.
Tipler, P. A. College Physics. New York: Worth Publishers, Inc., 1987. Pg. 352 – 399.
This is an older textbook and may be harder to find. Chapter 15 offers nice mathematical as well as physical descriptions of oscillation. This is a good resource for the teacher. Chapter 16 offers the traditional background on sound but goes less into the mechanics of hearing.
Wilson, J. D. and Buffa, A. J. College Physics. Third Edition. New Jersey: Prentice Hall, 1997. Pg. 414-474.
It is very similar to the other Physics textbooks above, but perhaps a little less student friendly. Chapter 13 deals with waves and vibrations while chapter 14 deals with sound directly.
