Abstract
As we have discussed in the earlier chapters, the phenomenon of sound can mean either an auditory sensation in the air or the disturbance in a medium that causes such a sensation. An interesting question is exactly how we go from such phenomena, to numbers inside a computer, stored in an array of integers, for example, that we can manipulate in whatever way we desire, and if (and if so how) we can reconstruct an acoustic signal from those numbers.
