Has anybody read these books? I did a quick search of my archive of
the list and it doesn't look like they've been discussed here. Vol I
is "musical elements," Vol II is "musical signals." Judging by the
table of contents they appear to be comprehensive.

You might try to check them out at a library in order to review them.
If you do, please let us know your opinions.
Thanks....

I had the chance to check vol.1 out a little bit (~20 minutes) in a
local university library, and it made it on my To-buy-list. (It's
still on it.)

It's for musicians. ;) According to MITpress, it's up to undergraduate
level. Also check out http://www.musimathics.com/
According to the Table of Contents, the harder stuff is in Vol. II,
where filter theory, Fourier transform, Z-transform etc. are about to
be introduced. But Vol. I doesn't seem to require much beyond adding,
multiplication and some geometry. Though I may be the wrong person to
ask: I had math training at university.

I asked in a local bookstore today and they would need to import it
from the states. Cost unknown but probably something like 70 Euro (I
just asked for the first book), 2 weeks to 2 months of waiting.
Guess I should look somewhere else..

The complete 500 page PDF is free online.
