The Mathematics and Music Seminar was founded by Vesna Todorčević and Filip Jevtić in 2018. Meetings of the Seminar are devoted to the presentation of many connections between mathematics and music that have existed since the very beginnings of these two disciplines.

In recent years, this interdisciplinary subject has been a focus of larger and deeper research interests (see, for example, the Journal of Mathematics and Music which was categorised as M23 by our Ministry of Sciences.)

The goal of the Seminar is to study the mathematical aspects of the theory of music with special attention to harmony (for example, Neo-Riemannian Theory of Harmony), melody (for example, application of graph theory to recognition of similar melodies), rhythm and algorithmic composing (counterpoint).

Based on these connections between mathematics, music and computer science, the Seminar is also partly devoted to popularisation of mathematics. Moreover, with a series of lectures by novelists, painters and other artists, it included the connections between mathematics and other arts and has thus considerably expanded both its audience and methodological frames.

The participants of the Seminar are mathematicians, musicologists, composers, computer scientists, philosophers, art historians, artists ranging from the undergraduate to the research/professional level. Notable lectures were given by mathematicians Miloš Čanak, Zoran Lučić, Filip Jevtić, Erica Roldan Roa, and Demian Nahuel Goos, philosophers Irina Deretić and Višnja Knežević, composer Dragan Latinčić, musicologist Tatjana Drobni, visual artists Petar Vujošević and Milenko Stevanović, musician Nenad Vještica and writers Dragan Stojanović and Miomir Petrović.

In September 2021, lectures at this Seminar will be given by a French-Swiss composer Karol Beffa and a French mathematician Cédric Villani, authors of the book Les coulisses de la creation, which was recently translated into Serbian, on the initiative of Vesna Todorčević.
