  2. Augmented triad - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented_triad

    Whereas a major triad, such as C–E–G, contains a major third (C–E) and a minor third (E–G), with the interval of the fifth (C–G) being perfect, the augmented triad has an augmented fifth, becoming C–E–G ♯. In other words, the top note is raised a semitone. H.R. Palmer notes:

  3. Twelfth root of two - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelfth_root_of_two

    The equal tempered Bohlen–Pierce scale uses the interval of the thirteenth root of three (13 √ 3). Stockhausen's Studie II (1954) makes use of the twenty-fifth root of five (25 √ 5), a compound major third divided into 5×5 parts. The delta scale is based on ≈ 50 √ 3/2. The gamma scale is based on ≈ 20 √ 3/2. The beta scale is ...

  4. Abacus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abacus

    Bi-quinary coded decimal-like abacus representing 1,352,964,708. An abacus (pl.: abaci or abacuses), also called a counting frame, is a hand-operated calculating tool which was used from ancient times in the ancient Near East, Europe, China, and Russia, until the adoption of the Arabic numeral system.

  5. Multiplicity (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiplicity_(mathematics)

    The graph crosses the x axis at the simple root. It is tangent to the x axis at the multiple root and does not cross it, since the multiplicity is even. The graph of a polynomial function f touches the x-axis at the real roots of the polynomial. The graph is tangent to it at the multiple roots of f and not tangent at the

  6. Ninth chord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninth_chord

    Heinrich Schenker and also Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov allowed the substitution of the dominant seventh, leading-tone, and leading tone half-diminished seventh chords, but rejected the concept of a ninth chord on the basis that only that on the fifth scale degree (V 9) was admitted and that inversion was not allowed of the ninth chord.

  7. Abel–Ruffini theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abel–Ruffini_theorem

    If does not contain all -th roots of unity, one introduces the field that extends by a primitive root of unity, and one redefines as (). So, if one starts from a solution in terms of radicals, one gets an increasing sequence of fields such that the last one contains the solution, and each is a normal extension of the preceding one with a Galois ...

  8. Cyclotomic polynomial - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyclotomic_polynomial

    It may also be defined as the monic polynomial with integer coefficients that is the minimal polynomial over the field of the rational numbers of any primitive nth-root of unity (/ is an example of such a root). An important relation linking cyclotomic polynomials and primitive roots of unity is

  9. Harmonic seventh chord - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonic_seventh_chord

    A chord consisting of the root, third, fifth, and flatted seventh degrees of the scale. It is characteristic of barbershop arrangements. When used to lead to a chord whose root is a fifth below the root of the barbershop seventh chord, it is called a dominant seventh chord. Barbershoppers sometimes refer to this as the 'meat 'n' taters chord.'
