  2. Wolf interval - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_interval

    The only problem is at the edge, on the note E ♯. The note that is a tempered perfect fifth higher than E ♯ is B ♯, which is not included on the keyboard shown (although it could be included in a larger keyboard, placed just to the right of A ♯, hence maintaining the keyboard's consistent

  3. Musical temperament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musical_temperament

    Their solution, laid out by Pietro Aron in the early 16th century, was a series of tunings referred to as meantone temperaments, which temper the interval of a perfect fifth slightly flatter than in just intonation, and then proceed much like Pythagorean tuning, but using tempered fifths instead of the just fifths. With the correct amount of ...

  4. Meantone temperament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meantone_temperament

    The name "meantone temperament" derives from the fact that in all such temperaments the size of the whole tone, within the diatonic scale, is somewhere between the major and minor tones (9:8 and 10:9 respectively) of just intonation, which differ from each other by a syntonic comma.

  5. Equal temperament - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_temperament

    12 tone equal temperament chromatic scale on C, one full octave ascending, notated only with sharps. Play ascending and descending ⓘ. An equal temperament is a musical temperament or tuning system that approximates just intervals by dividing an octave (or other interval) into steps such that the ratio of the frequencies of any adjacent pair of notes is the same.

  6. Tempered representation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempered_representation

    Any irreducible tempered representation is a basic representation, and conversely any basic representation is the sum of a finite number of irreducible tempered representations. More precisely, it is a direct sum of 2 r irreducible tempered representations indexed by the characters of an elementary abelian group R of order 2 r (called the R ...

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

    Definitions of the appropriate topologies on spaces of test functions and distributions are given in the article on spaces of test functions and distributions. This article is primarily concerned with the definition of distributions, together with their properties and some important examples.

    The term was coined when variables began to be used for sets and mathematical structures. onto A function (which in mathematics is generally defined as mapping the elements of one set A to elements of another B) is called "A onto B" (instead of "A to B" or "A into B") only if it is surjective; it may even be said that "f is onto" (i. e ...

  9. Hilbert's fifth problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilbert's_fifth_problem

    Hilbert's fifth problem is the fifth mathematical problem from the problem list publicized in 1900 by mathematician David Hilbert, and concerns the characterization of Lie groups. The theory of Lie groups describes continuous symmetry in mathematics; its importance there and in theoretical physics (for example quark theory ) grew steadily in ...
