Arts, Sciences, and Economics

The book explores the intersection of mathematical modeling and the craftsmanship of historical musical instrument making, inspired by a conversation between the author and Professor William Hendon in 1985. Initially skeptical of the idea, the author reflects on this unique comparison over five years, ultimately producing a paper titled "On the unity of the arts, crafts, and sciences." This work diverges from the author's usual theoretical economics focus, showcasing a blend of personal passion and academic inquiry.
